Thank you Aditya!
Your hint to using the narrower environment lead me to \startnarrower
\stopnarrower on the wiki which was exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks again
Best Wishes

If you just want to reduce the width of paragraphs, use the narrower
environment. If you also want frames or background colors that break
across page, use the background environment. If you want floats and
parshape to also work, use the textbackground environment.

I've been struggling today with trying to change paragraph width of
selected paragraphs within the body text of a novel I'm typesetting.
I thought that the way to do this would be by framing the text that I
would like to reduce the paragraph width off. However the framed
text doesn't seem to honour page breaks and just seems to disappear
off the page bottom. Also the framed text starts on a new page which
I do not want to happen.
Any suggestions on how I may go about solving this problem?

Here is an example tex file which shows these effects:
\definepapersize[book][width=5.06in,height=7.81in]
\setuppapersize [book][]
\setuplayout
[width=middle,backspace=12.5mm,cutspace=12.5mm,height=middle,topspace=12.7mm,bottomspace=12.7mm]
\starttext
\dorecurse{2}{\input ward \blank}
\midaligned
\framed[frame=off,width=5cm,align={width,nothyphenated,verytolerant,stretch},before=\blank]{\dorecurse{4}{\input
ward \blank}}
\dorecurse{2}{\input ward \blank}
\stoptext
