West Country

Summary Winchester cathedral was the birthplace of monastical polyphony music, a musical variation of the monotonous 'plainsong' in use 1000 years ago. This variation would lead to the development of a more entertaining type of music which would develop in style in the coming centuries. A visit to Glastonbury Abbey reveals the legend of King Arthur, and debates whether he ever existed. Dr Bovey continues her journey into cider country, including a visit to an ancient cider mill at Honiton, and discovers the extent of the spread leprosy through towns and villages as far west as Exmouth. Visits to Exeter cathedral, Dartmoor and Dartmouth conclude this journey through the West Country.
