Description
A hidden corner of rural Britain comes alive in this captivating exploration of an old stone barn and its people. Sally Coulthard's latest work delves into the lives of those who once lived and worked there, uncovering a rich history that spans centuries. The Barn is a story about the fortunes of a building and its surroundings, shaped by seismic shifts in society from the eighteenth-century Enclosures to the Second World War. Against the backdrop of scattered limestone villages and the softly rolling Howardian Hills, Coulthard reveals the intricate connections between people, place, and industry. Through her engaging narrative, Coulthard sheds light on a forgotten way of life, one that has witnessed remarkable changes over time. With gentle humour and fascinating facts, she brings to life the beauty and history of everyday things, inviting readers to explore this hidden corner of rural Britain.
