Is the Vicar in, Pet? - From the Pit to the Pulpit - My Childhood in a Geordie Vicarage (Fox Barbara)(Paperback / softback) - diskuze

In the heart of Ashington - a bustling Geordie mining town - a handsome red-brick vicarage, surrounded by rambling gardens, stands proudly among the rows of terraced houses.
