About this listen

While writing his book England's Thousand Best Churches, Sir Simon Jenkins visited over 2000 churches in Britain. At a reception for the book George Carey, then Archbishop of Canterbury, asked Simon 'You have been to more churches than I have; does none of it rub off?' He replied: 'You lot didn't rub off, but something did.'

Join Dr Stephen Cherry and Sir Simon Jenkins as they take you on a walking tour of Simon's 'favourite building in Britain'. You'll learn plenty about the various building phases of the Chapel, as well as a couple of new definitions of the word 'Goth'.
