Christian fiction

It seems a long time ago, but it isn't so long. It was the late eighteenth, early nineteenth century and things were not well for many poor people.  The enclosures act had  forced many of them off the land, and into the cities or made them emigrate to America. They no longer had the right to gather firewood from the common and  even cooking their own food became a problem. Those places which had been theirs and their forefathers to roam and  live on, were no longer theirs.
In a few places, there were Christians who cared, who didn't want to see their fellow villagers ousted and reduced to poverty and then treated like criminals through no fault of their own... villagers often had to work as roundsmen to qualify for poor relief and the system was abused by the farmers and overseers.
One village where there were Christians who were prepared to help and who were in a position to do so, is the place I describe in Where The Fox Goes.
The first part of the story is set in the end of the last century, less than twenty years ago, when people discover that the same land is threatened by developers.  They love the wastelands, the woods and the allotments, but they are in the middle of a recession, jobs have gone and homes are on the line. What can they do?
