Dean Stanley's Father as a Parson Ruler in Alderley
Bishop Stanley, dean's father, is described as a strict yet kindly parish leader who governed Alderley like a ship captain. He rewarded cleanliness, refused entry to untidy homes, and urged temperance with placards in inns and parlors. He explains legal terms heir apparent and heir presumptive in simple terms as part of a discourse.
