George Herbert: The British Church
Here is a Podcast for Lambeth. A reading of George Herbert's The British Church. I suspect it was made some time in the fifties or sixties for religious broadcasting either in England or for the colonies. I am not sure it was ever actually aired. There is no video after the station ident. I have only managed to get this much scanned in. There is a brief introduction to the poem followed by a reading of it. Missing from this scan is his interpretation and (would you believe it?) another reading of the same poem. All this is accompanied by stills of churches in glorious black and white. This is the kind of crap telly I grew up with!
Hopefully I can get the full thing scanned in soon. Sorry about the limitations but I wanted it up for Lambeth.
