Bless This House

The house was built in the Old Queen's time - built for an Elizabethan pirate who was knighted for the plunder he brought home. It survived many eras, many reigns - it saw the passing of Cromwell and the Civil War. It became rich with an Indian Nabob and poor with a twentieth century innkeeper. It was wars, and lovers, and death. Children were born there, both heirs and bastards. It had ghosts and legends and a history that grew stranger with every generation. the house was Merravay - and its story stretched over four hundred years...Lofts, Norah is the author of 'Bless This House', published 2006 under ISBN 9780753175699 and ISBN 075317569X.
