About this listen

 Once a pagan lookout, later a Christian shrine, and by 1086, a centre of Norman authority—Harrow on the Hill stands as a layered landmark in England’s long story. This episode delves into the Domesday entry for Harrow, explores the remarkable life of Archbishop Lanfranc, and examines what it meant to hold land, status, and faith in a conquered kingdom. From villans and slaves to sacred spaces and political reforms, we trace the past to its echoes in the present.
