Summary: "The Parson O' Dumford" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century.

This encounter sets the tone for his new life, as he learns about the challenges and social tensions within the community, particularly regarding relations between the workers and the factory owner, Richard Glaire. The opening also hints at romantic tensions, showcasing Glaire’s complicated feelings toward two women, Eve Pelly and Daisy Banks, while the vicar's kindness and straightforwardness draw him closer to the townsfolk in unexpected ways.
