Love and learning in Hodnet's circle of Heber and Hares
A narrative recalls Maria Leycester's Hodnet visits of Reginald Heber and Augustus Hare, their circle including Walter Scott, and the early years of Hare and Leycester's story. It traces Hare's rural ministry at Alton Barnes and Hurstmonceaux, his sermons, charity, and community bonds, and the lasting impact on Leycester and family.
