 Welcome to Wentworth Village
Surrounded by the industrial towns of South Yorkshire, it is remarkable that Wentworth village and the surrounding area have escaped any major development over the last two hundred years.
This preservation of the village and surrounding countryside is due in a large part to the efforts over the years of Fitzwilliam (Wentworth) Estates and, more recently, the village Amenity Trust.
These bodies still own most of the land and buildings in the area and do an excellent job of maintaining a traditional rural environment in the heart of one of the most densely populated parts of the country.

Coupled with the claim that this account is "the true story", Leo McKinstry has certainly set himself a challenge in terms of convincing what can only be described (at the best of times) as a doubtful public.
McKinstry, to give him his credit, certainly goes for the holistic approach, tracing Boycott's life from his childhood as a miner's son in the West Yorkshire village of Fitzwilliam, through his professional career at Yorkshire and his international success to his time after retirement as commentator and media personality.
Whatever your view of Geoff Boycott, it is unlikely to be vastly changed by this fascinating and certainly well-researched biography.
