Delve
Delve is a deep, detailed look at the landscape and culture of specific locations. By shining a light on the history and oral traditions (folk song, oral history, folklore and tale) of a place it seeks to show the breadth of human experience there. Talking to writers, storytellers, musicians, researchers, historians and local interest groups it weaves across the ages and disciplines, pulling in poetry and literature to explore both the past and present. "The history of a nation is not in parliaments and battlefields but in what the people say to each other on fairdays and high days, and in how they farm, and quarrel and go on pilgrimage."W. B Yeats

Episode 5
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Troutbeck Bridge is probably the least well know of the villages the series but that doesn't mean that it doesn't have many tales to tell. We will hear stories of conflict and battle from Jane Renouf of the Ambleside Oral History Group and Dr Sue Allan who will tell us about Robert Anderson.
There are some stories in this that some listeners may find upsetting.
