Perivale, [[1883]]<br /> In the sleepy, rural parish of [[Greenford Parva]], [[Gabriel Chase]] is by far the most imposing edifice. The villagers shun the grim house, but the owner, the reclusive and controversial naturalist [[Josiah Samuel Smith]], receives occasional visitors. <br /> The Reverend [[Ernest Matthews|Ernest Mathews]], for instance, dean of Mortarhouse College, has travelled from [[Oxford]] to refute Smith’s blasphemous theories of evolution. <br /> And in a deserted upstairs room, [[Seventh Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Ace]] venture from [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] to explore the [[Victorian era|Victorian]] mansion …<br /> Who – or what – is Josiah Smith? What terrible secrets does his house conceal? And why does Ace find everything so frightening familiar? | [[Perivale]], [[1983]]<br /> A column of smoke rises from the blazing ruins of a forgotten, decaying mansion.
