Generations of Faith

The Rev Kate Bottley is on the border of Staffordshire and Shropshire to join three generations of the Robinson family, discovering the Catholic history of Boscobel House, where after being defeated in the English Civil War, King Charles II went into hiding in a priest hole As the Catholic Church marks the new World Day for grandparents and the elderly, Kate hears how grandchildren love and appreciate their grandparents, and singer songwriter Mal Pope performs his song Catch You about becoming a grandfather. Clive and Stella Robinson share with Kate how their faith sustained them following the loss of their son Andrew, and how their family set up a trust in his memory to give holidays to young people. Hymns from across the UK are Before the Throne of God Above, I Will Sing the Wondrous Story, On Eagle’s Wings, Be Thou My Vision, and I the Lord of Sea and Sky.
