The Rev Kate Bottley explores the ancient rhythm of prayer and work practised by the Roman Catholic monks of Mount St Bernard’s Abbey in Leicestershire. She speaks to the brothers about their calling and the purpose of the monastic community, and also samples the renowned Trappist beer brewed in the monastery.

In nearby Loughborough, YolanDa Brown steps back in time at the oldest working bell foundry in the world and discovers how centuries-old craftsmanship is still producing bells to call people to worship.
