This captivating tale begins during the reign of Henry I when a young knight, fresh from battle, claims the land and sparks the birth of a settlement. Throughout the centuries, the hill's undeniable allure draws people from all walks of life, each finding solace in its sweeping vistas as they dream of the future or reflect on the past. From the knight in the 12th century to Tom, a 20th-century retired tenant farmer, "The Small Hill" weaves a tapestry of interconnected stories, bound together by the enchanting power of this sacred place.
