Prayer in the Middle Ages. How did the church maintain its hold over a population that could not read or write and certainly didn't understand Latin? Plus we head for Burnley where a new project is uncovering some remarkable evidence which shows that East Lancashire was at the forefront of the gay liberation movement in the 1960's and 70's. And Tom Holland's in the Oxfordshire countryside to find out how the Ancient Greeks and Romans would have tackled the decline of the bee population.
