Turnips and Disorder at the Deanery Plots
≈ 6 min
The night before the Close Growers' Society Annual Produce Show, the shed on Allotment Plot 7 was entered and left in significant disarray. The show's prize table is contested keenly each year, and the society's records show three members submitted entries from Plot 7's crop list. Your task is not to name the intruder but to profile the offender's behaviour using only the facts in the file.
The scene
Thornwick Cathedral Close, a walled ecclesiastical precinct enclosing the cathedral, the Deanery, and a row of allotment plots maintained by the Close Growers' Society
In the file
- Canon Aldric Marsh — Cathedral precentor, whose study window overlooks the north gravel path
- Patience Lund — Close Growers' Society secretary, plot holder on Plot 5 adjacent to Plot 7
- Declan Furze — Cathedral verger, responsible for locking the Close's pedestrian gates at 22:00
- Rowan Callister — Close Growers' Society treasurer and show organiser
- Mira Osei — Plot 7 holder and victim
