Secret Shropshire

Available for over a year

The ancient Roman city 'Viroconium' at Wroxeter may be the lost court of Camelot, whilst Hawkstone could reveal the secrets to the Holy Grail itself. Author and 'Historical detective' Graham Phillips believes Shropshire is threaded through Britain’s greatest legend. Graham tells Mark Elliott that a hidden grave in Baschurch could even reveal where King Arthur was laid to rest.
