The Othona Community on Radio 3

There was a wonderful audio piece featuring the Othona Community on Radio 3 last night as part of a series celebrating Essex (Odes to Essex) by the writer Ken Worpole. In this episode he explores Essex as a place of retreat and refuge. The whole episode is well worth listening to but if you are in a rush then the section on Othona starts at just over 8 minutes in. Ken visited Othona a few years ago to attend a writers event and has very good memories from his time here. Click on the link below to listen to the episode.
