GoodBookStall Review:
‘...the first narrative history of the English country church from its origins in Anglo-Saxon times to its uncertain future in the twenty-first century......This fascinating and beautifully illustrated little history is a celebration of the English country church – and a passionate plea for its preservation’ Publisher
In this book Roy Strong shares his love and knowledge of the many facets of English church life, the buildings history and design, the changes to the liturgy, Clergy through the ages and so on. Written in a very readable way, with a ribbon marker to keep your place, this is a book for the casual church tourist and the serious church scholar alike. Excellent.
