In this episode we are joined by watercolour artist and architectural historian Matthew Rice to explore one of England's true hidden gems: St John the Baptist's at Inglesham in Wiltshire. This church played a pivotal role in protecting England's heritage via the work of William Morris and the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB). We also take time to discuss his architectural guidebooks including the iconic 'Rice's Church Primer'.
Hope you enjoy.
