"This book reminds us that in North Nottinghamshire and West Lincolnshire there is a rich history that for many is unknown. A great book offering great insights into a rich period of history."

"This is an excellent well researched and presented account of 'pilgrims and rebels' in the area of North Nottinghamshire and West Lincolnshire. The book is very enjoyable and thorough in its account of the lives of local Christian folk who were known for their independent views of faith and Christian practice including Methodists, Quakers and Baptists. I cannot recommend it highly enough — even for non-specialists, it is a very lively and interesting read."
