Journey with me back to the stews and brothels of medieval Southwark, where the church rules the roost, and the geese enjoy their protection. But what happens when the geese are no longer needed? You guessed it - the bishops turn their backs. It's the first episode since Emily left, so Alex is at the helm all on her own, taking you to one of her favourite stomping grounds to discover exactly who the Winchester Geese were. Why are the Bishops of Winchester even tarting around in London?! What are the Hoods of Ray, and why did they have to wear them? And what does this curious graveyard have to do with the Bishops and the Geese? Let's go on a journey of dubious morals and nefarious goings-on in medieval Southwark, and the modern day remembrance of the women who worked here.
