<p>Braunston is at the heart of the canal network, and in this edition of The Water Road we explore its waterways history, including how the working boatmen adopted the village church as the Cathedral of the Canals. Plus we hear how the Braunston Canal Society does voluntary work on the canal and towpath, and we learn about making fenders.</p><p>The Water Road is produced and presented by Adam Porter.</p><p>If you&#39;re enjoying the podcast, please <a href="https://ko-fi.com/thewaterroad" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">consider supporting me via Ko-Fi</a>.</p><p>Useful links: <a href="https://www.braunstonmarina.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Braunston Marina</a>; <a href="https://www.allsaintsbraunston.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">All Saints Church</a>; <a href="https://www.braunston.org.uk/org.aspx?n=Braunston-Canal-Society&pdf=all" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Braunston Canal Society</a>; <a href="https://www.tradline.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Tradline Fenders</a>.</p>
