Hob hurst's house

One sunny day an odd looking man, short in stature and over large in head, moves into a farm on the edge of a moorland village. accompanied by his heavily pregnant young wife and disobedient maid he then scuttles off on business and leaves the women to their own devices. rumours abound as to the history and dealings of the strange little merchant, hobart hurst. these are the mid seventeen hundreds in yorkshire, in the north of england. the drama is swept up in the landscape of the north yorkshire moors. in a time where farming, family and keeping going are key, enlightenment and discovery are breaking new boundaries whilst the old ways and folk beliefs still cling on in the background: tales of wise women, witches and most importantly, the old legends of hobgoblins.
