Nancy Mitford once observed that some of the most bitter personal
clashes of all time have been 'between the Manor and the Vicarage'.
Owen Chadwick's Victorian Miniature paints a detailed cameo of
nineteenth-century English rural life, in the extraordinary battle
of wills between squire and parson in a Norfolk village. Both the
evangelical clergyman and the squire, proudly conscious of his
Huguenot ancestry, were passionate diarists, and their two journals
open up a fascinating double perspective on the events which
exposed their clash of personalities. The result is a narrative
that is at once deeply informative about Victorian class
distinctions, rural customs and festivities, and richly
entertaining in a manner worthy of Trollope.
