Product Description
Long ago, country peoples' ideas and views about morals and proper behaviour were largely dictated and closely monitored by the neighbours and the Church. Straying off the beaten track was highly frowned upon. Minor transgressions like a fellow staggering home drunk after a night in the pub, cheating at cards or robbing an orchard were discussed and dissected.
But that was just the small stuff. The most serious misfortune to come to any family – a daughter to become pregnant outside of wedlock. The gossips had a field day.
One solution to the problem in those days, was to arrange a hasty wedding, another option might come from the priest, suggesting that she be sent to a mother and baby home, until after the child was born, to avoid scandal in the community''
