Matter of Britain is an Arthurian fantasy and an ethnographic document of an English country village. Over the course of a year, the villagers quest for the Holy Grail in order to heal their wasted land. Meanwhile, local farmers extract what they can from the land, and labour to make it fertile.

The ongoing project is recorded here, and is supported by an Arts Council of England Project Grant, the Lund Trust, High Weald AONB, East Sussex Arts Partnership and the University of Reading. The completed artwork will be exhibited at the Museum of English Rural Life.
