'Joan Mackenzie has done a sterling job researching her great-grandfather William Taylor and bringing the stories alive for the next generations.' (James Affleck)

Purchase the book to enjoy the life and stories of William Taylor, Overnewton Castle and local area.
"As a child at Overnewton, I would often look at the portrait of the elegant man in the old gilt frame and wonder where he came from, and what he did. Then, when I climbed up into his old black leather coach with its old brass lanterns, I wondered where he travelled in it, and how he met so long ago." (Joan Mackenzie)
