Welcome.
I have added 15 generations of the Cruwys family to my family history pages. They range from Tudor times to 1175. Thomas Cruwys fought for the losing Lancastrian side at the Battle of Towton in 1461. It was the bloodiest battle ever fought on English soil.

I am the author of over 50 books: novels for children and adults, and non-fiction. They cover a wide range, with a particular love of fantasy and Celtic history. Even my contemporary crime novels have links to history and sacred places. I have been three times shortlisted for the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize and have won the Barco de Vapor Award and the CRT Fiction Book of the Year. 50th Book Party
I am also a keen family historian. I am researching my own family history, mostly in Devon and Kent, and my husband Jack Priestley’s ancestors, mainly in Lancashire and Yorkshire. Some lines go back more than 30 generations, from paupers to lords of the manor. I even know the village in Normandy one of my ancestors came from.
WRITINGS
I am currently working on a book about the first English saints.
