Overall, it’s a marvellous little book regardless of where you are from and highlights some important sources and issues that I feel need to be heard. It was wonderful to have the chance to hear what these brave and marvellous women from Halifax had to say but until now never had the voice to do so.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A lot of research has gone into this book. The author gives a fascinating insight into the families who lived in Nostell Priory in the past to the present day. Although this is not a guide book, there are lots of interesting details about the house and its contents. I enjoyed reading about Thomas Chippendale and the furniture he made for Nostell Priory, which is still in situ. There are some good pictures in the book, plus old recipes and old newspaper articles about the people of Nostell.
