The Rector of Pepynbridge

Pepynbridge is a large village in the East Midlands, with an abbey as its parish church needing GBP1million to repair its roof, but riven by disputes over its style of worship and with a dreadful track record of not hanging onto its rectors. Into this toxic mix, the Reverend Herbert Onion, a bachelor and gifted musician with strong views about worship, but nurturing a dark and potentially catastrophic secret, arrives as the new rector. As Pepynbridge struggles to accommodate the outsider, relationship storms break out that threaten not only Herbert Onion's reputation and liberty, but the futures of others in the community as well.
