Mother Leakey and the Bishop
Manage episode 421466708 series 2446386
I can't remember enjoying a story more than Peter Marshall's Mother Leakey and the Bishop.
The way Peter tells the story is absolutely brilliant with walk on parts from some very famous characters. At heart though it is a ghost story and the story of how an Anglican Bishop came to be hanged for the crime of sodomy in Dublin in the winter of 1640.
Peter is one of the leading historians of the Reformation and won the Woolfson prize for his book Heretics and Believers. And as I say in the introduction to the podcast the story he has uncovered here is 'an absolute banger!'
