About the book

The Diary of a Country Parson presents the everyday observations of an English clergyman living within a rural community. Through regular diary entries, it records parish responsibilities, local personalities, social customs and the changing seasons of country life. The apparently ordinary details gradually create a remarkably intimate portrait of an earlier England. Church affairs, neighbours, weather, journeys and domestic concerns combine to reveal both the responsibilities of parish life and the rhythms of the countryside.
