Sheila, Rodney and their classmates investigate Nottingham’s caves during a school history project and discover a concealed group of alabaster religious objects. The find is connected to artefacts hidden centuries earlier from Protestant destruction and to a modern attempt to force an old shopkeeper to sell his property.

The contemporary adventure uses archaeology and local history to explain Nottingham’s medieval alabaster trade and the loss of religious art during the Reformation. Trease links the recovery of evidence with the modern preservation of historic buildings.
