Stories
The Foundation of The National Trust
Dave Almond discusses about how the private sale of Grasmere Island in 1893 helped inspire Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley to join with Octavia Hill and Sir Robert Hunter to establish The National Trust. Elaine Taylor talks about how Canon Rawnsley's faith influenced his love of the natural world.
Olwyn Barber - Chorister
Reverend Kate Bottley meets Olwyn Barber who has been singing in her church choir for 70 years.
Norman Nicholson
Norman Nicholson was born in the former iron-mining town of Millom, on the edge of the Lake District in Cumbria in 1914. He lived in the town until his death听in 1987, with the exception of two years in his teens when he was sent to a sanatorium in Hampshire to recover from tuberculosis - an event which shaped his subsequent life. It is this very rootedness in Millom that is the strength of Nicholson's poetry. His intimate knowledge of the town and its people, and the surrounding landscape gives his poems their subject matter and force.
