E4. An Arthurian Knight to Remember

Nights in the Nave

Join host Victoria Jenner on a mystical journey to St Cuthbert's Church in Holme Lacy, Herefordshire. Immerse yourself in the legends of King Arthur as you enter this enchanting church filled with ancient artifacts and grand monuments to his knights. Let the story of Archibald Lucas-Tooth, a fallen soldier from World War I, inspire you as you discover more hidden treasures within its walls. Don't forget to look out for carvings of mythical creatures and even a mischievous pup who seeks adventure just like you. So hit that play button and travel back in time to the heart of Camelot.
If you would like to make some memories, why not give champing a try? For everything you need to know about Champing™ visit: https://champing.co.uk/
