Shepton Mallet 19
It’s rockers versus choristers in a shopping showdown from Shepton Mallet antiques fair in Somerset, while Christina Trevanion treads the cobbles of Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited street.
Christina Trevanion walks in the footsteps of generations of choristers as she visits one of England’s most ancient streets, Vicars' Close in the Somerset city of Wells. It is the oldest continuously inhabited street in Europe. Christina has a rare, guided tour of this medieval neighbourhood with Vicars Choral singer Matthew, stopping to marvel at a 12th-century bread bin and strong box!
Meanwhile, the teams are hoping for a harmonious shop when they race around the stalls at Shepton Mallet antiques fair. In red are lovers of rock music, married couple Emma and Ty. Friends and choir singers Tammy and Amanda, who are after something unusual, are in blue. With the clock ticking down, the reds try not to lose their marbles when they encounter a vintage wooden board game. Across the other side of the fair, the blues sniff out a glass jar that looks like a pepper pot – until their expert Thomas Forrester reveals its true purpose.
Auctioneering duo Harry Bellin and Simon Watson are on the rostrum at the sale in Lyme Bay, hoping to realise their estimates on the teams’ lots.
