Kent academic goes in search of Medieval Britain
University of Kent academic Dr Alixe Bovey will be presenting a series of six programmes on BBC Four as part of the channel's Medieval Season. In the series, In Search of Medieval Britain, she explores the length and breadth of Britain using the 14th century Gough Map, the oldest surviving route map of Britain. The first programme in the series, North, will be shown on Thursday 10 April at 7.30pm.
According to Dr Bovey, who is a lecturer in Medieval History, 'This is an incredibly exciting season of programmes and I was really pleased to be involved with the series. It was especially wonderful to be able to film in the crypt of Canterbury Cathedral for the South East episode.'
Dr Bovey specialises in the visual culture of the later Middle Ages. She began her career as a curator in the Department of Manuscripts at the British Library, and she joined the University of Kent in 2005 where her teaching focuses on the cultural history of medieval Europe.
