ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Aside from the immediate staff of King's College Chapel, Provost Gillian Tett (OBE) is likely spends more time in the Chapel than anyone else. Matriculation, ceremonies for new fellows, memorial services. Gillian's role as Provost of King's College is so intertwined with the Chapel, she has her own stall - commissioned by none other than King Henry VIII.
