When William Brazington, Earl of Haverliegh, is granted lands associated with Roelswick Priory after the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660, his family agrees a hidden contract with local communities. This relationship threatens to collapse at the beginning of the twentieth century following the disappearance of the Blacksmith’s sister, heralding danger for all young women working at the Priory. Can village folk come together to save the girls and their heritage?
