The answer to whether Jesus came to Britain is almost certainly no. The story of why so many people believed he did is much more interesting.
Taking William Blake's famous question as its starting point, And Did Those Feet? follows one of Britain's strangest and most enduring myths from a commemorative bench in a Somerset cul-de-sac to a Cornish golf course, from medieval visionaries and Victorian sex cults to a converted warehouse on a trading estate in Catford.
Along the way, The Reverend Fergus Butler-Gallie introduces a remarkable cast of prophets, pilgrims, enthusiasts, cranks and true believers, including the most annoying woman in English history, a man who declared himself the Son of God on live television and a man whose only significant achievement in life was being five months old.
Irreverent, deeply researched and unexpectedly moving, And Did Those Feet? is a story about Jesus, Britain and the enduringly bizarre things people will believe.
