"The Nebuly Coat" by John Meade Falkner is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the mysterious circumstances surrounding a death in the sleepy village of Cullerne, set during the 1860s, and follows the protagonist, an architect named Westray, who is tasked with the restoration of the local church. As he gets embroiled in local legends and intrigues, the narrative hints at buried secrets, familial ties, and the impact of the past on the present. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Westray as he arrives in Cullerne, where he begins his work at the church. Here, he encounters a cast of characters, including the seemingly pompous Canon Parkyn and the local organist, Mr. Sharnall, who hints at a troubled past involving the late Martin Joliffe and the peculiar "nebuly coat," a heraldic symbol that carries a weight of local lore. The opening portion establishes a mood filled with atmosphere and tension, setting the stage for the unraveling mystery while portraying the architectural beauty and decay of the church that Westray must navigate in both his professional and personal life.
