Episode Eighteen - Barking Abbey and England's First Publishing House
Manage episode 275656872 series 1496868
In this episode we take a look 1400 years back in time at Barking Abbey and the women who ran it. What was often seen as a form of imprisonment for women who had nowhere else to go, the history of Barking Abbey instead reveals freedom, miracles, writing and the secrets of the dead.
We're back at UEA's media suite now, with support from the Interdisciplinary Institute of Humanities. Thanks for bearing with us over the past few months, we hope to have exciting news about our upcoming episodes as well as our annual film festival for you all very soon.

This episode was recorded at the UEA media suite with research support from the Norwich Heritage Centre, with thanks to them both for their support. This episode was written by me, Richard Sheppard, with research by Dr Linda Sheppard, and technical production by Stephen L. Parkes.
