This episode begins the Art, Architecture & Sculpture category by exploring some of England’s most stunning sculpture. The host Dr Suzannah Lipscomb takes us to the Angel of the North, the beautiful landscape of Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Barbara Hepworth’s home and studio in Cornwall. The 100 places featured in this series have been nominated by the public and chosen by a panel of judges. Together they help tell England’s fascinating history.
