MOTHER LEAKEY AND THE BISHOP: A GHOST STORY

In 1636 sightings of the ghost of an old woman are reported in Minehead, and a royal commission is sent to investigate. In 1940 a disgraced Protestant bishop is hanged in Dublin, after being convicted of an 'unspeakable crime'. Marshall sets out to uncover the link between these seemingly unconnected events.
