Armstrong, Vicar of East Dereham in Victorian times, and Jason
Bell as Parson James Woodforde, who had the living at Weston
Longville in Georgian times. They will read extracts from
their famous Norfolk diaries.
Ian
Prettyman, a Methodist lay preacher from Lowestoft, provides
musical items while Keith shares favourite yarns from church
and chapel and a Bible reading in Norfolk dialect.
