Synopsis

In Three Hundred Years Late, part of the series Incredible but True, listeners are transported to a chilly November night in 1932. Tom Horner and his friend Arthur Wright are driving through Marston Moore, a site steeped in history as the location of a significant battle during the English Civil War. As they navigate the dark roads, their conversation turns to the past, specifically the battle where Cromwell's forces defeated King Charles I. This historical backdrop sets the stage for an extraordinary encounter that challenges their perceptions of reality.
