Stories

Richard III
Bill Turnbull goes behind the scenes at Leicester Cathedral to witness the preparations for a special service to lay to rest the remains of Richard III and historian Michael Wood is given exclusive access to the king鈥檚 own prayer book to examine evidence of his deep Christian faith.

Bishop On A Bike
For Lent this year, Bishop Edward Condry has given up using his car. And as he鈥檚 based in the rural area around Warminster in Wiltshire, that means cycling hundreds of miles every week. He is also trying to reduce his food miles by shopping locally. David Grant joins him on his tandem for the day.聽

St Piran鈥檚 Church
St Piran鈥檚 Oratory, thought to be the oldest four walled Christian structure in England, lies within the sand dunes at Gear Sands near Perranporth in Cornwall. Until recently it was buried, but now, thanks to a huge effort from the community, it鈥檚 recently been uncovered. Josie d鈥橝rby donned her wellies and met the people involved.
