It is 1492. Twelve-year-old Thomas Thixendale's parents had
abandoned him shortly after the death of Richard III at the Battle
of Bosworth in 1485. Thomas has memories of being in great danger
and a strong feeling that he was not born to serfdom. Baron Hilton,
the cruel Lord of the Manor, returned to Wharram Percy after the
Civil War and now has a fiendish scheme to be rid of his peasant
tenants. Tom is determined to thwart him as all is not what it
seems. He travels to York with the parish priest, Father Michael,
to enlist the help of Sir George Percy, second cousin to the
powerful 5th Earl of Northumberland. 'The Tale of Thomas
Thixendale' is a light hearted historical story which is based upon
real characters and events during Henry VII's reign. It is set in
the medieval village of Wharram Percy, in the Yorkshire Wolds of
England, which was abandoned by 1506 due to the introduction of
sheep farming. Black and white illustrations. A glossary includes
medieval words and Yorkshire dialect.
