Walpole wrote horror novels that tended more towards the psychological rather than supernatural, with a brooding underlying mysticism. The Cathedral&39;s protagonists are feuding clergymen at the cathedral in Polchester. The book begins: Adam Brandon was born at Little Empton in Kent in 1839. He was educated at the King&39;s School, Canterbury, and at Pembroke College, Cambridge. Ordained in 1863, he was first curate at St. Martin&39;s, Portsmouth, then Chaplain to the Bishop of Worcester; in the year 1875 he accepted the living of Pomfret in Wiltshire and was there for twelve years. It was in 1887 that he came to our town; he was first Canon and afterwards Archdeacon. Ten years later he had, by personal influence and strength of character, acquired so striking a position amongst us that he was often alluded to as the King of Polchester.
