This is the story of an East Anglian journey. It is also a treasure hunt, the author's footprints, leaving a trail of clues which readers can follow from chapter to chapter. Thus, in conversations with Ronald Blyte, the first clued leads to Hoo Church used in the filming of Akenfield. At Hoo, the amateur sleuth picks up the scent to where? Investigation leads through Kings College Chapel in Cambridge to Nelsons country of the Burnhams, from the Strangers Club in Norwich to Grimes graves; from  mediaeval Lavenham to the bleak Essex marches; from Nell Gwyn's Newmarket to the Stour Estuary
