In the present work there is an intensity of feeling which shines through in every detail of the West Country landscape from the strange, factory-like Georgian Manor House seen far off in North Cadbury to the foreboding 'Barrow Hill' which rises ominously in the centre. The winter landscape is imbued with the disturbing era of the 1930s and 1940s.
Compton Pauncefoot, is a parish in the hundred of Catsash, in the county of Somerset. This parish took the suffix to its name from the Pauncefoot family, of Great Brickhill, who formerly held the manor.
