Except the Lord dramatised by DAVID WHEELER from the novel by JOYCE CARY. with Howard Lang as the Narrator, Lord Nimmo
Except the Lord build the house, their labour is but lost that build it.
So, in a poor D'evon village in the 1870s. preached Tom Nimmo. farmworker and devout believer in the imminent second coming of Christ. The effect of his faith upon his son, Chester. later to become Lord
Nimmo, cabinet minister and Liberal peer, was profound, but it was not what Tom had hoped for.
