Neil OliverS1 Ep3

In the final instalment of the three-part series, Neil Oliver examines how the creation of saints by the early church led to a new generation of Sacred Wonders across Britain. On Iona, Neil discovers the traditional resting place of Macbeth as well as delving back through time to discover how St Columba sanctified the island with a tough brand of monasticism, all the way from the Egyptian desert. At Canterbury Cathedral, Neil learns how St Thomas Becket's grizzly murder was harnessed to build its Nave, one of the great glories of medieval architecture, and on Glastonbury Tor in Somerset he investigates layer after layer of powerful legend in the story of the Holy Grail, the sacred cup of everlasting life.
