Country Focus

Another Chance to hear a programme broadcast originally in 2013 - It's Easter, a busy time of year for our churches as congregations gather to worship. But as the bells ring out and the vicar greets people at the door will they have taken a look around at the churchyard? Caring for God's Acre is a charity on a mission ...to protect and conserve our Churchyards and Burial sites for the future. Rachael Garside visits church yards tucked away on the borders of Wales. Her journey begins at Snead in Churchstoke, passing into England to the village of Eye and then on to Discoed to discover the hidden natural treasures of our burial grounds. Country Focus would like to wish all our listeners a very Happy Easter.
