Book excerpt: Historical drama based on true events in 17th Century England. Father Nicholas Postgate was a Catholic priest who served the Catholic people of North Yorkshire when it was illegal to do so. Father Postgate served for over 50 years. Finally captured at Matthew Lyth's house performing a baptism, Father Postgate was taken to York in 1679 where he was hung, drawn and quartered. The story not only tells Father Postgates story but centres around the ordinary Catholic folk of North Yorkshire and the persecution they suffered for being Catholics.
