Villages by the Sea

Originele titel: Villages by the Sea

Kijk deze zondag 8 november op BBC2 om 21:30 naar "Villages by the Sea" geproduceerd in Schotten in 2022.

Archaeologist Ben Robinson visits a small village in Northumberland to find out how the family and village who both share the name Craster have had their lives and fortunes intertwined for over 800 years. The village sits on a unique seam of rock called the Whin Sill and next to the North Sea. Ben learns how, through the generations, the Crasters have used local resources to make their fortunes and in turn have changed the face and the fortunes of the village and the villagers. Ben meets Michael Craster, who still lives in the family's 850-year-old tower and is an expert on his ancestors. Ben follows the family tree and hears of various heads of the family, such as the Georgian period's Daniel Craster who developed quarrying in the village.
