Ashbourne Family Saga

 

Exclusive to The Chimes Online is the unique story of the Ashbourne Family, a chance to be absorbed into life in the late 19th Century, mainly but not exclusively in South Herefordshire.

This is a generously illustrated historical novel where all the illustrations are contemporary with the narrative never the 2020's.

Read the whole story only in The Chimes Online at www.thechimes.org.uk, then select Extras, Info & Blogs, then Historical Bog. It’s all there.
