DD - Episode 43 - Speen


Listen Later

This week, we delve into Speen in Berkshire, a village whose Domesday entry includes a church, a mill, and seven slaves. What begins as a straightforward exploration quickly spirals into a deeper conversation about the history of slavery, the role of the Church, and the uncomfortable ways in which religious institutions have justified, and at times resisted, systems of oppression. 

As promised, here are the links, in order, to Kidnap, Organ Grinders, and Payback:
