Synopsis

Rutland is at the very heart of England. It is England’s smallest historic county, less than 20 miles in distance from north to south or east to west, and a patchwork of incredibly picturesque and peaceful villages. At its centre is Rutland Water, by surface area the largest reservoir in the country, covering more than 3,000 acres of land, which has matured over the past thirty years into a sanctuary for wildlife and a major tourist attraction. Secret Rutland goes behind the façades of the familiar to discover the lesser-known parts of the county’s long and illustrious past. Join Daniel J. Codd on a journey through the hidden secrets of Rutland, its deserted settlements, history, folklore, antiquities and street names with interesting stories to be told.

About this title

About the Author

Daniel J. Codd is a lifelong student of history, criminology, folklore, the out-of-place and the paranormal in Britain, a fascination borne out of a belief that truth (including the possibility of the reality of the supernatural) is endlessly more intriguing than fiction. He has previously written full studies of the supernatural and paranormal in Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Somerset and Bristol, and has contributed articles for Paranormal magazine as well as appearing on BBC Radio programmes. Daniel is endlessly intrigued by the anecdotes and accounts of ghosts and other phenomena he frequently receives, and is currently compiling these anecdotes, as well as anything else of interest he finds along the way among the archive material he is constantly trawling through.
