"St. Cuthbert's Tower" by Florence Warden is a fictional novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story appears to revolve around Olivia Denison, a young woman who has moved to Rishton Hall as part of her family’s transition to farming life, bringing with her both excitement and trepidation about the rural community and its inhabitants. The narrative hints at themes of class conflict, local rivalries, and the mysteries of the past that seem to linger in the old house. At the start of the novel, the Hall is preparing to welcome its new tenants, Olivia and her maid, Lucy. Their arrival is met with a mix of curiosity and disdain from the locals, particularly from John Oldshaw, a resentful farmer who had hoped to secure the property for himself. The girls face numerous challenges upon arriving at the dilapidated Hall, including an overturned cab carrying their luggage. Despite the ominous atmosphere surrounding the farm and the neighborhood, Olivia's strong spirit is evident as she navigates her new home, encounters various characters, and grows intrigued by the history of the Hall, particularly the mysterious figure of Nellie Mitchell.
