It is a testament to the enduring power of hope and the importance of forgiveness in our lives.WHAT do I know of Hoghton Towers? Very little; for I have been gratefully unwilling to disturb my first impressions. A house, centuries old, on high ground a mile or so removed from the road between Preston and Blackburn, where the first James of England, in his hurry to make money by making baronets, perhaps made some of those remunerative dignitaries. A house, centuries old, deserted and falling to pieces, its woods and gardens long since grass-land or ploughed up.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
