Udgivelsesdato: Jul 04, 2021

Brenda Edwards visits one of England’s finest stately homes, Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. She discovers how some of Chatsworth’s treasures shed light on our royal and religious history, and she finds out what life is like behind the scenes of this centuries-old family home. Sean Fletcher joins walkers to mark the 70th anniversary of the Peak District National Park. He discovers the historic events that led to our national parks being established and meets people who find inspiration for their faith in the varied landscapes of the High Peak. Sean also meets travel expert Simon Calder in the Derbyshire market town of Melbourne to hear the remarkable story of Thomas Cook, who was born there in 1808. Cook’s fervent Baptist faith was the inspiration behind his first offering excursions to the public, which eventually led to him becoming the father of modern travel and tourism. Back at Chatsworth, Brenda speaks to renowned soprano Lesley Garrett, who reflects on her career and her journey of faith before she gives an exclusive performance of a favourite inspirational song. Other special performances in the house and gardens come from the Overtones and Brenda herself, and there are hymns from the Cathedral of the Peak in Tideswell.
