Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the rugged moorlands, The Gallows Pole tells the riveting tale of David Hartley, the leader of the notorious Cragg Vale Coiners. As Hartley and his band of weavers and labourers engage in a high-stakes criminal venture, they embark on a mission to forge coins in an audacious act that threatens the very fabric of the economy.

This powerful narrative has received accolades, including the prestigious 2018 Walter Scott Prize, and has been hailed by literary giants. Pat Barker reflects on it as "powerful, visceral writing, historical fiction at its best," while Sebastian Barry describes it as "phenomenal." The Times exclaims it is "superb," confirming its status as a must-watch series.

  • Explore the complexities of the Cragg Vale Coiners and their treasonous craft.
  • Witness the inevitable clash between tradition and the dawn of industrialization.

With Robert Macfarlane naming it one of the best books of the year in the Big Issue, The Gallows Pole stands as a remarkable exploration of a seldom-told history. Dive into this compelling tale and discover the audacity of a forgotten past.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
