Farming's Patron Saint
Anna Hill follows a spiritual path along the countryside lanes of Norfolk, tracing the life of patron saint of farming St Walstan, who died 1,000 years ago.
Anna Hill joins the faithful on pilgrimage in Norfolk tracing the life of the patron saint of farming who died 1000 years ago. She asks if agriculture needs a figure head like St Walstan today as questions why his story of hard work and dedication isn't better known. Walking through the country lanes she meets the people inspired by his life and legacy and talks to both Anglican and Catholic Bishops about his appeal across the Christian church.
