Description: Among the green hills and trees of Lancashire, only a few miles from the sea, lies the beautiful and ancient estate of Ashton Park. The year is 1916. The First World War has engulfed Europe. Sir William and Lady Elizabeth's three sons are all in uniform and their four daughters are involved in various pursuits of the heart and soul. During Sir William's long absences at Parliament, Lady Elizabeth discreetly spends time with the manor's head cook, Mrs. Longstaff, often visiting a small Baptist church in Liverpool.
