About this title

Synopsis

A tale of wool-trading and church-building in the Cotswolds, against a background of changing loyalties, conflict and danger when there were two Kings of England. In the foreground is Lydia Woolman of Northleach whose friends are Isabel and Anne Neville, the daughters of the Earl and Countess of Warwick. The magnificence and sure foundation of the Church, both building and institution, contrast with the shifting fortunes of the warring factions.
