Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes us back to the year 1745, a tumultuous period in English history, and uses the village of Didsbury as a lens to examine the lives and customs of the time. The author, through a captivating blend of historical fact and imagined dialogue, captures the essence of rural life in 18th-century England. We meet a cast of eccentric and vivid characters ââ â the innkeeper, the horse-leech, the mole-catcher ââ â each contributing to a rich tapestry of local lore, traditions, and beliefs. The book dives into the unique dialect of the area, offering glimpses into the food, dress, and social practices of the time. A particular focus is on the annual village festival, St. Oswaldââ â¢s Day, which provides a platform to explore the changing religious landscape of the era, including the emerging influence of the Methodist movement. The author also delves into the complexities of local politics, revealing how the villagers, despite their simple lives, were drawn into the heated debates surrounding the Hanoverian succession and the Jacobite cause.
