Britain’s parish churches, chapels, cathedrals, convents, abbeys and monasteries spanning 1600 years are a spectacularly rich heritage. Many are visited for their architecture and beauty – they make up 45% of all grade 1 listed buildings – but rarely is the deeper historical story that they tell explored. Bestselling historian Peter Stanford unlocks a unique history of Christianity in the British Isles, told through its sacred buildings – from ancient wooden churches and medieval priories to remote island monasteries and lofty cathedrals – one chosen for each thousand years.

Join him for a spectacular journey as he travels from Jarrow to Glastonbury, Westminster to Canterbury and Liverpool to Blackfriars.

This is a pre-recorded event which will be available from 9am on 25 September to 9pm on 31 January 2022.
