Lucinda Lambton's Alphabet of Britain: P is for Prisoners of War

on BBC Two England

The third series of the enthusiast's guide to architectural oddities.

From the Napoleonic wars onwards, prisoners have kept themselves occupied by creating extraordinary objects. Lucinda Lambton goes to Peterborough to see some of these creations, including miniature clock tower made from cookhouse bones, and in South Wales explores a chapel decorated by Italians using roofing felt and tins of bully beef.
