Before March 1823 Filey had a notorious reputation as a place of great depravity, noted for ”vice and wickedness” Yet by the end of the same year: l Drunkards had changed to become good husbands and caring fathers. l Alcoholics had been cured immediately and permanently. l People’s illnesses, physical and mental, were cured through prayer. l A new spirit of generosity had grown in the town towards those in need. l People had started to genuinely care for their neighbours.

It is a true account, based on actual facts, of the time:- ‘When Heaven Touched Filey’
