Synopsis of The Story of England

En 'The Story of England', Michael Wood narra la extraordinaria historia de una comunidad inglesa a lo largo de quince siglos, desde el momento en que el emperador romano Honorio envió su famosa carta en el año 410 aconsejando a los ingleses que se ocuparan de su propia defensa, hasta el pueblo tal como es hoy. La aldea de Kibworth en Leicestershire se encuentra en el centro mismo de Inglaterra. Tiene una iglesia, algunos pubs, el Grand Union Canal, un monumento a la Primera Guerra Mundial y muchos siglos de historia registrada. En el siglo XIII, el pueblo fue comprado por William de Merton, quien más tarde fundó el Merton College, Oxford, con el resultado de que los documentos que cubren 750 años de historia del pueblo se encuentran en el colegio. Basándose en este archivo único, y contando con la ayuda de los habitantes actuales de Kibworth, con una excavación arqueológica en todo el pueblo, con el primer perfil completo de ADN de un pueblo inglés y con el uso de materiales locales como recuerdos familiares, la historia de Kibworth es la historia de la propia Inglaterra, un '¿Quién crees que eres?' para toda la nación.
