About Caldworth Press

Caldworth Press is the independent publishing imprint of historical mystery author G. J. Wade, established to bring together a growing collection of historical fiction inspired by Britain's remarkable and often turbulent past.


The name comes from Caldworth Hall, the fictional ancestral home of the Willoughby family, whose fortunes and secrets run through Wade's novels. Although Caldworth itself exists only in fiction, the history surrounding it is firmly rooted in the real world.

At the heart of Caldworth Press is a simple belief: history offers an extraordinary wealth of stories, many of them hidden in forgotten documents, overlooked places and events that deserve a second look.


Our books combine historical research with imaginative storytelling, exploring the lives, loyalties and mysteries of people caught up in the great events of their time.

Books from The Willoughby Papers series by G.J. Wade.

Our Publications:

 The Willoughby Papers

Historical Mysteries of Britain


Set in the years following the Second World War, The Willoughby Papers follows historian and former RAF intelligence officer Henry Arthur Willoughby as he investigates mysteries whose origins reach deep into Britain's past.


From Roman Britain and the Norman Conquest to the Wars of the Roses, the Jacobite rebellions, medieval Wales and the intelligence operations of the Second World War, the series brings forgotten history into the light through mystery, investigation and discovery.

A historic mansion by a river with trees and mist.

CALDWORTH

 A Historical Family Saga


Spanning generations of one English family, Caldworth explores the changing fortunes of the Willoughbys against the backdrop of nearly nine centuries of British history.


From the Norman Conquest onwards, the saga follows the people who shaped, inherited and sometimes threatened the family's ancestral home, revealing how the decisions of one generation can echo through those that follow.


The first novel, Conquest, is currently in development.

A Final Word

History promises no happy endings, but it does offer excellent stories.
