Dorothy L Sayers’s THE NINE TAILORS Part 1: motoring across the Fens in search of bellringers – The Curiously Specific Book Club
We’re taking a classic Lord Peter Wimsey murder mystery novel for a drive out onto the Great Level. We’re looking for the fictional village of Fenchurch St Paul, with its enormous church tower and gang of dedicated bell-ringers. You’ll find us at Bluntisham, Upwell and Christchurch in Cambridgeshire, seeking out a suitable church, preferably with a host of wooden angels in the ceiling (as in the book). All this plus a potted history of bell-ringing – and a car crash too. Hell’s bells! Get early access to new episodes and bonus content Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
