Doctor Thorne by Anthony Trollope (Chapman and Hall, London, 1858) is the third novel in the "Chronicles of Barsetshire" series, between "Barchester Towers" and "Framley Parsonage". Though set in Barsetshire, Barchester and its familiar residents have little part in the narrative. Most of the narrative is based in the village of Greshamsbury, the seat of squire John Newbold Gresham, of an old and respected family, and his wife Lady Arabella, sister of the Earl de Courcy. They have a son and several daughters.
