How We Built Britain: The East: A New Dawn

Series 1, episode 1

David Dimbleby journeys through Britain, and through 1,000 years of our history, to discover the buildings that have made us who we are. His journey begins in the east of England, in medieval times the richest place in Britain, and home to some of our most spectacular buildings. He climbs the tower of Ely Cathedral, explores magnificent castles, learns how to build a medieval barn, goes on a pilgrimage, experiences life in a great hall and learns how the Black Death turned England upside down. episode 1
