A series of ten programmes with Donald Sinden
5: God spede the plow....
'... and send us ale corn enow' reads the inscription on the surviving fragment of the medieval plough screen at Cawston Church in Norfolk. St Agnes was the patron saint of the local plough guild and now lends her name to the church. This week DONALD SINDEN looks at how the parish church brought together the religious life and working life of ordinary folk. Cawston Church was built in the final period of Gothic architecture - the perpendicular, when the craft of the master carpenter reached a peak - and its woodwork is among the most spectacular in the country.

A Reminiscence
AUGUSTUS JOHN was born in 1878. At the height of his powers he was the most celebrated portrait painter in Britain, the leader of Bohemia, the darling of Belgravia. and his flamboyance bewitched men and women alike. In 1911 Augustus and his large family moved to Poole, Dorset, and later to Fordingbridge, Hampshire. Members of his family recall those days and speak of Augustus and Dorelia, the model who became his inspiration and life-long love.
MICHAEL HOLROYD , his official biographer, narrates the story.
