Focusing on the lesser-known impact of the Anglo-Catholic movement in rural areas, this book recounts the engaging stories of ten parishes that significantly influenced the movement and the wider church. It highlights the lives of notable yet underrepresented rural priests like Athelstan Riley and Samuel Gurney, showcasing their eccentricities and deep devotion. The narratives include remarkable events, such as a priest removing his clerical attire at the mention of the 1662 Prayer Book and another who served a Devon parish for seven decades, blending humor with profound commitment.
