If you have read my first book you know that James Jessop, Earl of Fairford was married to Lord Tenbury’s sister Harriet. He is one of my favorite heroes. My second book is their story. It practically wrote itself. I based his home, Ashford Abbey near the village of Fairford in Gloucestershire. Well! On our recent trip to the UK we stayed in a cottage about 3 miles from Fairford and I got to visit the village twice. It is known for its church, St. Mary’s, that has medieval stained glass windows.The picture above is one I took of St. Mary’s church in Fairford.  I used the stained glass theme in my book. I am now going to rewrite some of the book and incorporate my new found knowledge of the area. It is a lovely village and the Cotswolds are just beautiful. I am so fortunate to have been able to actually visit a place I had written about. My other locations, except for London, of course, are fictional.
