In the final days of 1703, a monumental storm struck England — a true hurricane, rare and nearly unimaginable in its scale.

It toppled steeples, shattered ships, and swept through parishes and coastlines alike.

Tonight, we won’t rush into the chaos. Instead, we’ll drift slowly into the quiet before it began — into the glow of hearth fires, the turning of barometers, and the stillness that warned of something vast.

The Great Storm of 1703 is a poetic, immersive bedtime story rooted in real history — a calm journey through a storm that shaped a nation.

Let the soft narration guide you into rest, as we move through wind, memory, and the quiet resilience of a land transformed.

Highlights of the episode:

• The eerie calm before England’s most powerful hurricane
• Gentle storytelling of a catastrophic 18th-century event
• A lighthouse keeper’s quiet vigil as the storm approaches
• A coastal village’s silent choices and remembered losses
• How the Great Storm lingered in memory, not just history
