Summary
Set in the Holmshire countryside near Copley Grange, the story centers on Friarton Mill, an old water mill whose place in the landscape shapes the life around it. The opening describes the mill, the manor house beside it, and the family history of the estate, including a young squire who manages the property and improves on an earlier ancestor’s alterations. It also notes his role in overseeing an almshouse endowment and building a new row of cottages for local labourers.
