Handel in London: Five Musical Walks
4/5. For today's walk, Donald Macleod and guest Lewis Foreman follow the trail of Handel's time working for the wealthy Duke of Chandos at
Cannons, near Edgware in north London. They visit an astonishing survival from the Baroque era, the church of St Lawrence Whitchurch, for which Handel wrote a number of works, and the former site of the Duke's huge mansion, now the North London Collegiate School.
