'This account covers the period from 1876 when Reverend Shapurji Edalji,
a Parsee convert to Christianity, became vicar of St Mark's Church
in Great Wyrley, until well into 1912 when the case was still causing
conflict between Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Edalji's champion, and Captain
Anson, the second son of the Earl of Lichfield and Chief Constable
of Staffordshire, who was the arch opponent of the Edalji family,
disturbed about a ‘Hindoo parson' being the parish vicar in
an outpost of his fiefdom'.
