Description
The unique, the unusual, the rare - these are the features that form the criteria for selection in Brian Harris' wonderful guide to churches and cathedrals. Here is a man who, in the style of Pevsner, has travelled the length and breadth of England and Wales in his quest for the most fascinating churches and cathedrals, recording his visits in minute detail and creating a marvellous treasury of facts about our religious heritage. Each church comes with a list of must-see features - whether it be the particularly beautiful fan-vaulted cloisters of Gloucester Cathedral, the tombstone carved by Eric Gill in the graveyard of St Mary and St Lawrence in Great Waltham, Essex, or the columns in the nave of St Mary Magdalene in Ickleton, Cambridgeshire, which date from the Saxon age and might have been used by the Romans. Alongside the gazetteer to 500 churches come stories about every aspect of church architecture from bells and mazes, to maidens' garlands and stained glass sundials, vamping horns and wooden effigies. Including both famous churches such as the incredible Boston, and lesser-known delights like Hillesden, Bucks, this book will become a standard work of reference for anyone who loves visiting churches and wants to know more.
