Description
A remote corner of the North York moors is home to a secluded acre of land, known as Scotch Corner. Here, a simple stone war memorial chapel stands, its bold carvings a testament to the dedication of its creator. Madeleine Bunting's father built the chapel in his youth, leaving behind a lasting legacy. The chapel's history is inextricably linked to the land it sits upon, a grassy hillside overlooking the Vale of York. This is a story of family, place, and the power of human creation. Bunting's biography is a thoughtful exploration of the intersection of these elements. Through her father's story, Madeleine Bunting sheds light on a forgotten corner of England, revealing the beauty and complexity of a place often overlooked.
