The penultimate episode of our gripping first series, where host Victoria Jenner takes you on a journey through history. In this episode, we invite you to explore the forgotten village of Wolfhampcote, and its haunting church that has refused to die. Joined by renowned author Matthew Green, we uncover the secrets of this lost village and its conflicting landscape - caught between existence and timelessness. Join us on this captivating adventure through the Shadowlands, as we search for answers about Wolfhampcote's mysterious past in a deserted medieval village.
