Description
BARNFORD ABBEY is a fictional story in two parts. Set against a backcloth of actual historical events and the characters who shaped them. It blends the reality of history with imagination to show how blind ruthless ambition can destroy many lives and the consequences continue through time.
PART ONE. Opens in 1645 during the English Civil War. Oliver Cromwell falls from his horse at the decisive Battle of Naseby. Did he fall? - or was he pushed? This inciting event marked the beginning of the end For King Charles reign: the start of Colonel Matthew Farrell's ruthless quest for power: his vendetta against the Earl of Barnford: the heinous crime committed against one innocent young Irishman and the ruthless oppression of the Irish people by Cromwell's forces. It follows the fortunes of the men and their womenfolk as they plot and fight their way through to 1660, which saw the restoration of the monarchy and many personal scores finally settled - or were they? The story continues in PART TWO.
