Songs of Praise
Christmas in Winchester
2017 • E51 Dec 17, 2017 35m
Songs of Praise presenters each choose their favourite carol, and some are sung by candlelight in Winchester to celebrate Christmas. Sean Fletcher visits the Hospital of St Cross to find out about their tradition of giving food to pilgrims, and he catches up with former presenter Debbie Thrower, now a lay canon in Winchester Cathedral.
