Staunton Harold By John Fox

With a Foreword by The Rt. Hon. The Earl Ferrers.

This book tells the story of the beautiful hall at Staunton Harold and the people who have lived there during the past 1000 years. Their fascinating family history includes such characters as Robert Shirley, who was responsible for building the unique Chapel and whose son was created the first Earl Ferrers by Queen Anne. Selina Shirley, the evangelical Christian who became Countess of Huntington, was a friend and associate of John and Charles Wesley. Selina's cousin Laurence the 4th Earl, was guilty of murder and was executed.

This well-illustrated book brings the story of Staunton Harold right up to date. It tells how the Hall was saved from demolition in the 20th century by what has often been described as a miracle. There is much information about Staunton Harold's 30 years as a Cheshire Home and also about its current role as a Sue Ryder Care Centre.

At a time when the Sue Ryder Centre at Staunton Harold is facing imminent closure, this book is a timely reminder of the caring work which has been carried out in that lovely place for many years.
