What is behind the mysterious little door in the
Abbey tower? It is always shut Ð until one day it
stands wide open.
Curiosity gets the better of twins Kirsty and
Timothy. Walking through, they find themselves in
another age Ð the sixteenth century. There stands
the Abbey as it was in all its glory. They meet a young
scholar, Thomas, who takes them, disguised in robes,
to hear a friar speak about the Ônew faithÕ.
The twins return to their own age, and the door
is open to them just once more, this time in the
seventeenth century. They are shocked to find the
Abbey in ruins, and meet Anna Pegge, a young girl
whose family will build the little chapel next to
the tower, which is Beauchief Abbey today.
During their adventures, the twins learn about the
history of Beauchief Abbey and the different times in
which it is set. They also learn about the Christian
faith and how it is revived over the centuries with
renewed vigour.
