The narrative explores the Wigney family's evolution from modest weavers in Yorkshire to influential bankers and brewers in eighteenth-century Regency Brighton. It highlights their societal prominence, including Isaac Newton Wigney, one of Brighton's first MPs, whose career ended with the Wigney Bank's collapse. The family's legacy is marked by a mix of affluence and scandal, featuring marriages, divorces, tragedies, and even murders, alongside the stories of their less fortunate, devout relatives.
