Recorded in front of a live audience at the Gloucester History Festival, Philippa took to the stage with Andrew Ziminski, Master Mason and author of the fabulous book, 'Church Going.'
As someone who has turned her passion for travelling the historical sites of the UK into a business, a job and a hobby all combined I absolutely delight in visiting churches. They come in all shapes and sizes, ages and more often that not provide the most surprising and interesting finds.
I’m fascinated by them because they are such a tangible link to our past; our religious history of course, but also how they were used tells us something about how the community and people that used them.
I was delighted to host my own live podcast event at Gloucester History Festival on 14th September 2026.
