Product Description
by Amy Myers (Author)
The Maid of Kent pub sits in the village of Cobshaw and at the centre of controversy.
The local descendants of the Plantagenets and the Tudors each have an eye on the property, but for different reasons. The current owner Percival needs to sell, but will only let it go to another Planter, as the descendants of the Plantagenets call themselves. Hotelier Howard Greene claims Plantagenet blood and wants to add the property to his long empire. But is he really descended from the kings who once ruled England?
Local historian Brenda Randall knows everything there is to know about Cobsham and its inhabitants, including the history of the actual maid of Kent, Cecilia. What is now the pub was once her ancestral home, Cobshaw Court, and Brenda wants to restore the home and make it a stately inn. But her plans are soon interrupted.
Then a windstorm uncovers a burial site, and Marsh and Daughter, the local authors and sleuths, have a new mystery to solve. But who was buried under the old copper beech? And how is it connected to the endless fighting between the Planters and the Tudors in the picture- perfect village of Cobshaw?
