18th-Century Flying Men

Available for over a year

Helen Castor hosts the programme in which history and historians meet. This week, Tom Holland is hot on the trail of missing frescoes which shed light on Birmingham's artistic heritage and its place at the centre of civic politics before the First World War, and Dr Sam Willis heads for Shrewsbury to explore the history of our 18th century flying men. Producer: Nick Patrick A Pier production for BBC Radio 4.
