Ruth is Stranger Than Fiction

Episode 16 - The Vicar of Stiffkey


Listen Later

Ruth is Stranger than Fiction makes a rare foray into the 20th century with the bizarre story of Harold Davidson, the rector of the Norfolk parish of Stiffkey from 1906 - 1932. We are joined by old favourite Jake Dyer and a delightful new guest, Ed Ramage, to explore the unusual escapades of this unlikely figure, from a career on the London stage to his self-proclaimed role as ‘the prostitute’s padre.’ Prepare yourselves for the usual strange alcoholic concoctions (Stripper Vicars and Hanky Pankies anyone?) and rather a lot of lewd innuendos (in YOUR endo, etc etc…). It’s one of the silliest yet.

Important note: never fear, we recorded this episode sometime before the lockdown 2.0 so no rules were broken!
