The Afternoon Play: Echoes from the Abbey

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Sheila Hodgson based on an idea by M.R. James
with David March as James

One of his few great passions in life was a fascination for our great English abbeys. So, when he received an invitation to spend Christmas at Medborough Abbey, James accepted without a second thought. But, had he known what was to take place, he might have thought again.
