Presenter and Welsh poet Ifor ap Glyn explores the wealth of Britain's
extraordinary holy places on a pilgrimage that spans almost 2,000 years of
history. Travelling across the breadth of the UK, Ifor uncovers the stories and
rich history behind many of our most famous sites, explaining the myths and
legends of some of Britain's most sacred places.
Ifor sets out to understand the appeal of shrines. For those outside the
Catholic and Orthodox church there is something vaguely unsettling about
shrines. How can venerating the bones of a dead person bring you closer to God?
From the unlikely starting point of Marc Bolan's roadside shrine in Barnes,
Ifor embarks upon perhaps his most surprising journey. Along the way he learns
that Scotland's largest city only exists because of a shrine and visits the
newly-renovated shrine of St David in Wales.
At St Albans Cathedral he learns that shrines are slowly but surely starting to
creep back into the Anglican mainstream and that rather than meeting resistance
they are being actively embraced. After viewing a genuinely shocking relic in
Westminster Cathedral he meets with the Catholic archbishop Vincent Nichols,
who has a radical theory about how the return of shrines represents the final
chapter of the Reformation, and that is is all down to Princess Diana.
Finally, after seeing some of the finest cathedrals in the land, Ifor ends his
journey at a tiny church on the fringe of Snowdonia, one which is home to a
shrine that many people consider the holiest place in Britain.
