| Description: |
| Michael Wood tells the story of the village of Kibworth, Leicestershire, throughout the whole of English history. Located in the heart of England, Kibworth has lived through the Black Death, the Civil War and Industrial Revolution, and was bombed in World War II. With the help of the local people and using archaeology, landscape, language and DNA, Michael Wood uncovers the lost history of this village from the Roman era to the present day. Intertwining the local and national narratives, he creates a moving and informative picture of one local community throughout history. |
