In a new series for 大象传媒 Radio Solent, Bruce Parker taps into the south's rich history.

With the help of experts from across Hampshire Dorset and the Isle of Wight and using 大象传媒 Radio Solent's archive.

In the third programme of the series, Bruce and his guests discuss churches and cathedrals in the south.

Hear about some of Winchester Cathedral鈥檚 historic stories, including how the building almost collapsed at the start of the 20th century. Plus The Dean of Winchester Cathedral The Very Reverend James Atwell talks about the ongoing struggle to raise funds.

Wimborne Minster guide Christine Oliver talks about the famous building鈥檚 past and Kim Thompson from The Dorset & West Wiltshire historic churches trust reveals the murky past to one of Portland鈥檚 churches.

And there are archive recordings from St Mildred鈥檚 church in Whippingham.

For those on the roads across the south of England, there is travel news as it happens. And a smile is promised as the weekend draws to a close.
