Beyond Belief: The Story of Denys Eyre Bower

The story of two sisters and their fight to save a broken man and his castle filled with treasure.



Ruth Eldridge is called to assist in a highly unusual case: Denys Eyre Bower, a castle owner, is languishing in prison on a life sentence following a scandalous incident with an antique revolver. Delving deeper, she discovers there is more to the tale than meets the eye. With an increasing compulsion to uncover the truth, the lives of Ruth and her sister Mary become inextricably intertwined with Denys Eyre Bower and Chiddingstone Castle.



Republished for the first time in decades, this is Mary Eldridge's account of her association with a charming, eccentric and unforgettable man and his extraordinary collection of treasures. Tackling challenges from the justice system and press defamation to castle break-ins and a continually leaking roof, their shared story truly is Beyond Belief.
