THE model village of Castlemere had a fine aged church of grey stone, with solid square tower and the sweetest chime of bells in the county. A comfortable Rectory adjoined the churchyard; and picture cottages, inhabited by well-to-do tenants, clustered around. Giles Randolph was a liberal landlord.
Castle Hill House, half-a-mile distant, was united to the village by a private road, running through park and avenue; and nearly two miles from Castlemere, in the other direction, flourished a country town, Market Oakley by name.
