Inhaltsangabe

This book explores the stories of several Catholic families and ancient houses that became final refuges for the Catholic faith in the wake of persecution. At the time, Catholicism was outlawed in the country. Priests were cast out or martyred and there were countless cases of sacrilege and destruction of religious property. The Catholic presence in England diminished and became a matter of history, with only small and secretive groups of adherents still practicing the old religion. The author delves into the lives of those who lived in these ancient manor houses, offering readers insights into the loyalty of Recusants in the face of severe religious persecution. Despite their suffering, these individuals remained devoted to Catholicism, leading to the preservation of the faith in a time of great adversity.
