His diligent research takes us through a series of delightful cameo sketches of those who sought sanctuary and in so doing gives us an insight into mediaeval life and times...</p><p>Keith Best Barrister former MP and Chief Executive of both the Immigration Advisory Service and Freedom from Torture and a member of the Foreign Secretary's Panel on Torture Prevention.</p><p>***<br />This is a remarkable book on the subject of sanctuary by Geoffrey Care.
