Summary: "An English Squire" by Christabel R. Coleridge is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the Lester family, particularly Mr. Gerald Lester, the head of the household and owner of Oakby Hall, as well as his children, including the protagonist Cheriton Lester.

The opening portion of the novel introduces the Lester family and their home, Oakby Hall, establishing a picturesque, yet somewhat formidable setting in the English countryside. As the family prepares for the arrival of their elder brother Alvar, who has lived abroad, a mix of excitement and apprehension fills the household.
