Out of a Hop Loft

In 1915, Philip Clayton, an army chaplain, founded a soldiers' rest-house beind Allied lines in Belgium. Talbot House ('Toc H' in the signallers' jargon of the time) was a unique source of friendship and peace for the soldiers. At the top of the building was an old hop loft which has been converted into a chapel, and while people befriended each other regardless of status, many also discovered a reality in religion for the first time.

Out of that house grew the Toc H movement, which for 75 years has been encouraging people to explore what it is that gives meaning to their lives through relationships with others. Out of a Hop Loft charts its history by sharing with us the fascinating personal journeys made by some of the people whose lives have been profoundly affected by the organisation over the years.
