The Wild Man of Letchworth Hall
John Alington was an English eccentric who really put the “letch” in Letchworth. This randy reverend scandalised Hertfordshire with his saucy sermons and rock-and-roll hijinks. Alasdair tells James the peculiar history of a very rich man with a penchant for leopardskin and massively over-explaining things.
Plus, an unusual attorney, a pair of identical twin poachers and a ghostly monk chucked in for chills.

The Loremen are Alasdair Beckett-King & James Shakeshaft.
