THE latest title in Phil Rickman’s Merrily Watkins series, All of a Winter’s Night, is published on Thursday, January 5, but local readers will have the opportunity to pick up a copy a bit earlier, as Phil visits local bookshops to sign copies on December 30 and 31. The new novel is inspired by Kilpeck church, regarded as the classic example of Norman Romanesque architecture, emerging from a meeting of Celtic, Roman, Saxon and Viking traditions. A survey by the British Society of Dowsers found a stream underneath, which seems to have governed its orientation, along with hints of a neolithic stone circle.
