In a Quiet Village is a short story collection by Sabine Baring-Gould. Baring-Gould was an Anglican priest, hagiographer, antiquarian, novelist, folk song collector and eclectic scholar. His bibliography consists of more than 1,240 publications, though this list continues to grow. His family home, the manor house of Lew Trenchard, near Okehampton, Devon, has been preserved as he had it rebuilt and is now a hotel. He is remembered particularly as a writer of hymns, the best-known being 'Onward, Christian Soldiers', 'Sing Lullaby', and 'Now the Day Is Over'. He also translated the carol 'Gabriel's Message' from the Basque language to English.
