BookPublisher: London : Sidgwick & Jackson, 2017Description: 328 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (black and white, and colour) ; 23 cm.ISBN: 9780283072703 (hbk.) :; 0283072709 (hbk.) :.Classification number: 283.092 WILSubject(s): Wilbourne, David | Clergy -- England -- Helmsley | Helmsley (England) -- Social life and customs | Religion | ReligionSummary: As the newly appointed Vicar of Helmsley, David was looking forward to working in this picturesque market town, set in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. Admittedly the vicarage, which dated back to the twelfth century, was extremely cold and damp. And not all of his parishioners were impressed by his new-fangled ways. But with the help of the irrepressible Father Bert, a retired cleric and one-time Tail End Charlie, David set about winning over the townsfolk. There was Lord Feversham, the local landowner who at times bore an unnerving resemblance to Henry VIII; fiery Ted, a retired chef who had fought with the Polish Free Army; Frank the singing shepherd, still working as he approached eighty, and redoubtable countrywoman Eva. All had stories of hardship and sacrifice, friendship and love.
