John Bunyan in Bedfordshire. The novelist Rachel Joyce joins Henry as they follow in the footsteps of Bunyan’s pilgrim Christian, as he walks from Bedford, or the City of Destruction, to London, the Celestial City. Along the way they visit the Slough of Despond (Elstow), the Palace Beautiful (Houghton House) and Vanity Fair (Ampthill). They start at the Bunyan Meeting House, where they meet John Pestell, and finish at Bunyan’s resting place, Bunhill Fields.   2022 marks the 350th anniversary of the Bunyan Meeting House on its current site.   The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan (Penguin Classics) https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/60345/the-pilgrims-progress-by-john-bunyan-ed-dr-roger-pooley/9780141439716 https://apple.co/3rtwupL   The Pilgrim’s Progress, read by David Shaw-Parker (Naxos Audiobook) https://naxosaudiobooks.com/pilgrim-s-progress-the-unabridged/ https://apple.co/3dJ7Lu6   Rachel Joyce https://www.rachel-joyce.co.uk/   The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/413693/the-unlikely-pilgrimage-of-harold-fry-by-joyce-rachel/9780552778091 https://apple.co/3BPScJe   The Love Song of Queenie Hennessy by Rachel Joyce https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/420794/the-love-song-of-miss-queenie-hennessy-by-joyce-rachel/9781784160302 https://apple.co/3BKnW2p   Maureen and the Angel of the North by Rachel Joyce https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/448497/maureen-fry-and-the-angel-of-the-north-by-joyce-rachel/9780857529008 https://apple.co/3CcaGF2   Travel with John Bunyan by John Pestell https://www.dayone.co.uk/products/travel-with-john-bunyan   John Bunyan Meeting House and Museum https://www.bunyanmeeting.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.
