Rector & Maids news


A Victorian rector and nine old maids

They were all spinsters and not terribly attractive, but the Rev. Robert Le Marchant's nine daughters made the best of life in a cold Cotswold rectory. And as Stephen Furniss reports, a new book on the family's move from affluent Guernsey society to relative penury is not just a social history but a fine read.
