Richard Trahair shares an insider's experience of the wide-ranging
'goings on' in a large Church of England diocese in the south of
England from the 1980s. As estate manager - Diocesan Property
Secretary - for more than thirty years, he reflects on the
astonishing range of characters he worked alongside, and the
diverse buildings and land for which he was responsible. Richard
delves into the nature of a parsonage house, its parish loyalties,
and the keen controversy over selling the grand old houses and
replacing them with smaller ones so that the impoverished clergy
and their families can at least keep warm. Both people and places
were a heady mix of the delightful, the worthy, the curious and the
downright eccentric. With encounters recounted that range from
wacky and hilarious, to thought-provoking and historical, catch a
glimpse into the life of a twenty-nine-year-old surveyor in a
diocesan office dominated by retired military gentlemen, rattling
around in a huge 15th century former city workhouse, as he grows
into his role.
