This whispered gothic ballad of love and betrayal was inspired by a single passing line in The Rats in the Walls โ the brief mention of Lady Mary de la Poer, whose death was sealed in silence, her story buried by time and blessed by trembling hands. Written by yours truly.
From that single whisper of history, this three-part tragedy was born โ a lament carried through generations, and a song the stones of Exham Priory might still remember.
