Kettlethorpe, a modest little group of buildings deep in the English countryside, has housed many lives woven of great events and private joys and griefs. It was the home of Katherine Swynford, perhaps the most romantic figure of medieval times, but before and after her of knights and farmers, soldiers and lawyers, maids and maidservants, whose footsteps echo through the house's history. In telling the story of Kettlethorpe, this story touches on some of the greatest events in our history, from the Danish invasion and the Norman Conquest to the Battle of Lincoln Fair, the Pilgrimage of Grace and the Civil War. These were events that took place on Kettlethorpe's doorstep. It passes through the great days of the Georgian country house to the fate of a converted ruin, a farmhouse and dower house for a hunting widow, keeping the estate going until close to the outbreak of the Second World War. A war in which, once more, Lincolnshire - "Bomber County" - would play such an important part. What's more, this is a story not about the great or whom grand houses were built, but about what Cromwell called "the middling sort" - a little up in some generations, down in others, but with lives always within the compass of our imagination.

5.0 out of 5 stars Historical fact made into a session of brilliant stories linked together all over one house

Wow, all I can say is wow. This book is fabulously written. I’ve never read a book that is written this way but really enjoyed it and the fact that you have a fantastic short story written in sections over 100’s of years following one house and one area and then you have a following actual factual update on what the short story had been based on factually in between each is brilliant. I really feel that I know the area totally. It is great historical entertainment- I loved it and recommend you to read it too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!

A fabulous page-turning read! Really recommended. The scale is fantastic - 1200 years of family life in and around home at Kettlethorpe. Everything's here - battling at 1066 and the Civil War, war horses to tanks, hidden tunnels, lost love (too much!) and happiness. A great epic sweep of events - and notes when you're wondering what's history and what's not. A great idea. Where is Katherine's House's lost Saxon gold, who is the mystery motorcyist - a sequel please!

4.0 out of 5 stars A unique perspective
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 22, 2020

This is a most unusual book, because it combines fiction and fact by turns to give a picture of a house and a district from medieval times to the present day. The story is given extra poignancy by the fact that the author and her husband are Kettlethorpe’s current owners. The result is a little uneven, as few writers are equally at home in the worlds of imagination and reality or history. But the invented episodes create the opportunity to bring the history to life with studies of the impact of events on individual fortunes and misfortunes. Enchanting and fascinating.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read for anyone interested in history.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 9, 2019

I loved this book. It is a wonderful romp through English history from the Danes to the twentieth century told through the lives of (mostly) fictional characters living in an unpretentious corner of Lincolnshire. Great historical events come alive in a series of short ‘plays’, linked by well researched explanations of the intervening history, and throughout there runs a charming and ingenious thread of gold.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect literary escape
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 4, 2019

This is a truly special book. Beautifully written, it effectively recounts the history of England through the lives of an unfolding cast of characters all of whom had a connection with Kettlethorpe Hall in Lincolnshire down the ages: the Katherine’s House of the title.

Read this lovely book to escape the nightmare of today’s politics and the ghastly EU saga.
