DANGEROUS PRECINCTS The Mystery of the Wakeford Case.

Hardback. Reprint. Few people today can remember John Wakeford, the handsome, upright Precentor of Lincoln Cathedral, but in 1920 his name was at the centre of scandal and intrigue - in an age of post-Victorian hypocrisy, he stood accused of immorality. It was alleged that he had slept with a woman not once but on two occasions at the Bull Hotel in Peterborough while supposedly on Church business. There was only one witness who could clear his name - the elusive 'Girl in the Cathedral' - but she failed to come forward and testify. Who was this mysterious woman and why did she fail to save the archdeacon from his tragic descent into hell..? Illus. + Bibliog. 192pp. 8vo. h/back. F. in Nr. F. dw. which has tiny nick to top edge of fr. cover.
