The most surprising details of our surroundings contain a host of clues that can help us discover our country’s social, religious and cultural past.  Aspects of the landscape, urban and rural, hold hidden messages which can unlock the stories of Britain’s history.

Take a walk around Stratford with Martin Palmer and decode the town's extraordinary past - then return for tea at the Civic Hall.
