Christian Gems at Fountains Abbey

Aled Jones visits Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire, the largest monastic ruins in the UK, to investigate its hidden treasures, including some remarkable new evidence about the community of monks and lay brothers who lived there. Fountains Abbey is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Aled hears from Justin Scully, the general manager, about how his faith influences his management of such an important historical site and the staff and volunteers who work there.

Locally based singer-songwriter Phillipa Hanna tells Aled about how having a baby encouraged her to examine questions of her identity and relationship with God. We also meet a local farmer who has turned over her land to llama trekking and hear how her work with these unique animals allows her to put her faith into action by helping others.
