A splendidly illustrated book bringing the story of three remarkable 19th-century women to life. It recounts in rich detail the beginnings of the Rashleigh Pinwill ecclesiastical wood carving company in Ermington Devon, in the early 1890's, through to the establishment of a Plymouth-based business, ranked among the best in the West Country, and run single-handedly by Violet Pinwill until the 1950's.
Winner of the Devon History Society Book of the year award.
