Abbot Radulfus returns from London, bringing with him a priest for the vacant living of Holy Cross (known as the Foregate) - a man of presence, scholarship and discipline, but neither humility nor the common touch. When he is found drowned in the mill-pond, suspicion is cast in many directions ... and only the dedicated perseverance of Brother Cadfael can unravel the threads that lead to the murderer.   The Potter’s Field (17th Chronicle) Music by Colin Towns Equipment by Andrew Ackland-Snow Produced by Steven Smallwood Adapted by by Christopher Russel Directed by Marry McMurray   Character Actor Brother Cadfael Derek Jacobi Hugh Beringar Anthony Green Abbot Radulfus Terence Hardiman Prior Robert Michael Culver Brother Jerome Julian Firth Ruald Gregory Truter Donata Blount Mel Martin Lord Eudo Blount Jack Kliff Generys Sioned Jones Sulien Blount Robin Laing Prior Mortimer Peter Baldwin Badon John Bowler Peter Peter Aubrey Brother Adam Shane Hickmott Gunnild Natalie Jones   During the ploughing of the Potter's Field in October 1143 the grisly remains of a woman's body are unearthed. Recently abandoned by her husband, the tenant potter, roumour had it that the wild, beautiful Welsh woman had returned to her homeland - perhaps with a lover.

But among the throng, some strange customers indeed begin to puzzle Brother Cadfael, and as events unfold it becomes clear that the murder is a much less remote affair than it first seemed.
