The first of two programmes from Everyman marking the 1,400th anniversary of the founding of Canterbury Cathedral.

Canterbury Cathedral in Kent, spiritual home for 70 million Anglicans around the world, is the legacy of a pilgrimage made exactly 1,400 years ago. In AD 597 St Augustine arrived in Britain on a mission to convert the pagan Anglo-Saxons.

Presenter Nigel Hawthorne retraces his perilous journey from Rome across sixth-century Europe to southern England, where he laid the foundations of Canterbury Cathedral.
