This charming book takes you through the counties of England, exploring the remarkable stories behind the nation's country churches. From Saxon churches reflective of simple faith to Norman churches with rugged arches and powerful pillars stamping their authority, from gothic churches with their soaring arches to Decorated and Perpendicular churches made glorious with Early English style and craftsmanship, each building has its own unique character and history.
You'll discover Victorian churches resplendent with imperial pomp and eccentric Arts and Crafts churches, each with architectural details and tales that bring England's spiritual heritage to life. Every one of them has a remarkable story to tell that will move you to exclaim, again and again: 'I never knew that!'
