  • BBC mini documentary on Reverend 'Teddy' Boston and his life of God, Steam and Music.
    I have no rights to this, its all the BBC's, uploading as I think everyone should be able to watch what seems to be a rare bit of footage
    It has been recorded off of the TV in the 90s and then transferred to DVD so the quality and sound isnt the greatest but does get better! Bare with it!

      my Great Grandma found a old guide book with information on her local second hand book store about the late narrow gauge railway written by Teddy himself. there is also information about his steam roller and traction engine too.

      It filled an entire large shed, more the size of a garage. Teddy was a wonderful human being. If you go to his main church, at Cadeby, you can see Teddy and his wife Audrey - and the engine Pixie - immortalied in a stained glass window. Go to another of his churches, at Sutton Cheney, and relish his Richard III connection, and all the momentoes there; The Richard III Society have always felt at home here. There was only, ever, one Teddy Boston!

      I certainly know that the Rev. Audrey based Trevor on the traction engine in the video. My grandpa would have been able to say for sure, but he's been gone for almost 3 years now. Ill have a read of From Font to Footplate and see if it mentions anything.
