What a great website you have! I was particularly interested in the photographs as my name is Jacqueline Mary Stanford and I have just become a Parish Councillor at Rye Harbour - all very strange indeed and I now want to conduct some research on Mary Stanford.

Book 1 of 1: The Hidden Gospel Chronicles

A historical thriller by S. P. Coleman

A town swallowed by the storm.
A relic lost to the sea.
A mystery that refuses to die.

From the Great Storm of 1287 that destroyed Old Winchelsea, to the haunting tragedy of the Mary Stanford lifeboat disaster in 1928, and a modern day search for the truth, The Gospel in the Storm is a gripping historical novel set on the Sussex coast.

Blending history, legend and suspense the novel uncovers secrets long buried beneath the waves, and asks how far we are willing to go to protect the truth.
