The Haunting of Briarwych Church is a horror story about a dead woman's anger, and about a terrible quest for revenge.
The year is 1942. Britain is in the grip of the Second World War, bringing blackout conditions to much of the country. For several years, Briarwych Church has remained locked and unused. Arriving to take up his new position, Father Lionel Loveford's first task is to open the great wooden door and get the church back into use. But something lurks in the shadows. A terrible tragedy once took place in Briarwych, and now the locals live in fear of a vengeful spirit that has sometimes been spotted looking out from the church's windows. Although he doesn't believe in ghosts, Father Loveford soon discovers that the entire village of Blackwych lives in a perpetual state of guilt and terror. Does the ghost of Judith Prendergast really haunt the church and, if so, what does she want from the villagers?©2018 Amy Cross (P)2019 W. F. Howes Ltd Ghosts Horror Haunted Scary Village

I felt that it lost its way a little, although, a good story with a bit of a twist.

The twist.

Good story although the narrator could have put more feeling into it. I also the thought the characters were weak but perhaps because of the era in which the story was told accounted for this

This is a short listen (not quite 6 hours) about a priest, Father Lionel Loveford, who arrives at Briarwych church to take up his new position and finds that the villagers will not enter as they believe the church is haunted. But Father Lovelord does not believe in ghosts.

I enjoyed the setting in a small village during the second world war and the story itself was interesting, though not very scary and I did find Father Lovelord's character very irritating and sanctimonious. I will probably listen to the next book in the series.
