Aldgedeslegh
an epic poem about events relating to the parish of Audley
No parish is free from its stories of death and misery, Audley is no exception, the underlying motives for the events recounted in this poem are universal and could be transported to any time and any place.
The poem addresses the ever-present spectre of Death who, residing at the parish bounds, readily accepts any invitation to visit, whether by the call of Lust, the pursuit of Power, the drive for Profit or the opportunity to renew acquaintance with his oldest friend Revenge.
The four stories within the poem move on through time, carrying with them the underlying link of untimely and violent death, the payment for the price of our imperfect humanity in an imperfect world.
