The Galapagos affair por J. E. Treherne
Read while sailing around the Galapagos Islands, fascinating....
This book deals with the strange case of Archdeacon John Wakeford, a well-known preacher and churchman who in 1921 found himself accused by a fellow priest of committing adultery, leading to his suspension, trial in consistory court and an appeal before the Privy Council which involved England's leading legal luminaries. The outcome for him was notoriety and madness, yet there was considerable doubt about his guilt. This book carefully sets out Wakeford's life up till these events, showing how he gathered friends and enemies in equal measure, and had to deal with the poisonous politics of the Cathedral Close in Lincoln - echoes of later events!
