Summary: "The Channings: A Story" by Mrs. Henry Wood is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the Channing family, particularly focusing on the challenges and dynamics that arise after a legal dispute negatively impacts their lives.

The beginning of the book sets the scene in Helstonleigh, where the ringing bells of the cathedral signal significant events including the Assizes, a legal proceeding that will intertwine with the Channing family's fortunes. We also witness the disruption caused by an incident involving Charley and an ink-stained surplice belonging to a fellow chorister, Bywater, which becomes a point of contention in the school.
