Following on from the Hampton Court thread, here is a documentary about the development of Evensong, which is very much a product of Hampton Court.

Thank you @Naomi4Christ for sharing this. I met the presenter in 2017 and she was impressive there, and really well grounded in the history.

That’s amazing. Would you like to share the circumstances that brought about your meeting?

It's quite funny. I went to England to catch up with my older sister who I only met for the first time three years back. Lucy was giving a talk at the local church on the subject of the British Appetite for murderous fiction. We had a chat after about Hampton Court Palace and the Chapel Royal.

Although I am an evangelical, I am quite partial to sung evensong, and enjoy listening to it on the BBC.
