The Curse of Cannow's End
Novelist Stephen Varley, looking for somewhere peaceful and inspirational to work, rents a house in the quiet south-east Essex village of Cannow's End. Being a stranger there, he joins the local parochial church council to try to get more involved and meet local people.
Unspoken Understanding
Ian has published two previous poetry books. Tears of Poignancy (2006) is a retrospective collection of 30 of his poems on the subjects of Love, Life and Essex. Some of these poems also featured in a 1997 poetry exhibition of his work at Southend Library. The Battle of Ashingdon (1016) (also published in 2006) is a genre-bridging epic narrative poem, written in the tradition of Anglo-Saxon battle storytelling poetry about the Battle of 'Assandun(e)', which took place in the Essex countryside between English and Danish forces in the year 1016. Ian has received several awards for his work, including an Originality Award for his book Islands of Essex and a Short Story Award for his story The Fungus from Outer Space. He began his writing career as a freelance journalist in 1988, at the age of 23.
Return to Cannow's End
Stephen Varley is back – but so are the witches! Novelist Stephen Varley receives a letter out-of-the-blue from his Great Aunt Amelia, who lives in the atmospheric south-east Essex village of Cannow’s End. Amelia tells Stephen that she has been left a dilapidated old farmhouse in the village in the will of her old friend Winifred Weston. Amelia is too old and frail to clear out and patch up the building on her own, so she asks Stephen and his wife Sophie to help her with the task. Stephen, who is currently living in Northumberland, is reluctant to return to Cannow’s End after a previous encounter with witchcraft there, but Sophie comes from the nearby town of Thamesmouth and she persuades him to go back, so that she can also visit her parents. Unbeknownst to any of them, the old farmhouse holds many secrets and what begins as a job of clearing out the building and carrying out routine repairs soon evolves into a magical adventure involving family history, feuds, witches, smugglers and a few frights and scares along the way!
Tears of Poignancy
Though best known for his books about Essex history, Ian Yearsley is also a published poet. This book collects together 30 of his most popular poems, covering a 22-year period from 1984 to 2006. Essex places of course feature prominently, but so do many moving and heartfelt poems about the trials of Life and Love.

D. H. Lawrence, Transport and Cultural Transition
This book discusses D. H. Lawrence’s interest in, and engagement with, transport as a literal and metaphorical focal point for his ontological concerns. Focusing on five key novels, this book explores issues of mobility, modernity and gender. First exploring how mechanized transportation reflects industry and patriarchy in Sons and Lovers, the book then considers issues of female mobility in The Rainbow, the signifying of war transport in Women in Love, revolution and the meeting of primitive and modern in The Plumed Serpent, and the reflection of dystopian post-war concerns in Lady Chatterley’s Lover. Appealing to Lawrence, modernist, and mobilities researchers, this book is also of interest to readers interested in early twentieth century society, the First World War and transport history.
Making Histories in Transport Museums
This book is the first in 30 years to take transport museums seriously as vehicles for the making of public histories. Drawing upon many years' experience of visiting and working in transport museums around the world, the authors argue that the sector's historical roots are more complex than is usually thought. Written from a multidisciplinary perspective but firmly rooted in the practice of making public histories, this book brings the study of transport museums firmly into the mainstream of academic and professional debate.>
Women Bishops in the Church of England?
In July 2000, the General Synod of the Church of England passed a motion asking the House of Bishops to initiate further theological study on the episcopate, focusing on the issues that need to be addressed in preparation for the debate on women in the episcopate in the Church of England. This report is the result of that reflection. The report sets out as clearly and objectively as possible the options open to the Church of England in this matter and outlines the surrounding theological and practical issues. The report discusses: the background to the debate; the historical development of episcopacy; the parameters for a theologically responsible debate on women and the episcopate; the development of women's ministry; the timing - whether now is the right time to ordain women bishops; the theological and practical consequences of possible future options.
