BBC Radio 4 - Sunday Worship, The priory and the pottery

The Bishop of Llandaff in a service from Ewenny Priory and Ewenny Pottery.

Canon Edwin Counsell and the Rt Rev June Osborne with a service from Ewenny Priory, with contributions from Alun and Caitlin Jenkins at nearby Ewenny Pottery.

Ewenny Priory in the Vale of Glamorgan is one of the UK's most remarkable Norman buildings, this year marking the 900th anniversary of its dedication. Nearby Ewenny Pottery has been worked in by the same family since at least the 1600s.  

As we're shaped by our own turbulent times, the historic continuity of a place like Ewenny can be a source of strength and inspiration. In this service led by Canon Edwin Counsell, the Bishop of Llandaff the Rt Rev June Osborne reflects on the way our history and context shapes us, while father and daughter potters Alun and Caitlin Jenkins share their experiences of working with clay. 

Music includes Bob Chilcott's 'Even Such Is Time', and Jonathan Dove's 'Into Thy Hands'.

Producer: Dominic Jewel
