Be More Mancroft
Welcome to Be More Mancroft – the podcast from St Peter Mancroft Church in the heart of Norwich with Edward Carter and Judy Ball.
This first series takes you behind the scenes of HIDDEN, a powerful new art installation suspended in the nave. We’ll hear from the people bringing it to life – artists, clergy, volunteers, and visitors – as we explore the stories we all carry, and the ones waiting to be uncovered. We'll also be looking at summer life in Norwich and finding out if there ever was a Peter Mancroft!
