It is 1558. In a small village in the South Downs, villagers hear the church bell toll to declare the death of Mary Tudor, Catholic queen of England. The devoutly Protestant community has been terrorised by Mary’s suppression of dissent. Richard’s elder brother was burnt at the stake for his role as a Puritan lay-preacher: now the village wants revenge against the local Priest who accused him of heresy.
