Show Notes

Kit Calvert’s conversion and cow story, begun in episode 8, concludes.  We also hear him telling how he was persuaded to ‘translate’ parts of the Bible into Wensleydale dialect, and why he collected the poems of John Thwaite. He reads from St John's gospel and the poem 'Wakken Mother Wakken'.  This is followed by concluding thoughts on dialect.   Published on Wed 1 November 2023.
