Newseries Discovering English Churches

on BBC Two England

A series of ten programmes with Donald Sinden
1: Through a Glass Darkly
There are over 16,000 parish churches in England. Each of them is unique, a product of its own particular history, but each shares in the tide of events that shaped this country and its people. The conversion of Anglo-
Saxon Britain to Christianity brought a fusion of the vigour of the Pagan world with the classical tradition of Ancient Rome - a fusion from which the ways of thinking of the medieval world were to emerge.
This week DONALD SINDEN visits the churches of St Bartholomew the Great. Smithfield, London, and St Lawrence, Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire.
