No sight is more evocative than a small village where an embattled tower stands proudly or a great sweep of landscape from which an elegant spire soars above trees and meadows. Celebrate the English church in all its diversity--the different architecture, regional styles, structural materials, personalities, and settings. Each example combines familiarity with the pleasure of discovery.

My Favourite Book - Ever,
This review is from: English Country Churches (The Country Series) (Paperback)
This is one of my favourite books of all time - I even own two copies as the first got damaged by constant use by me, my family AND my friends. It is a must for anyone who finds the aesthetically pleasing beautiful to behold. Page after page of sumptuous photography, quite excellently executed camerawork which brings to life the glorious buildings and their histories, accompanied by short snippets of tantalising information. Thanks to this book I've visited over half of the one hundred or so churches, many down obscure country lanes forgotten about by the busy world rushing by. No matter what one's religious views the sheer splendour of these buildings is heavenly.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: English Country Churches (Hardcover)
Book is smaller than a coffee table book, so photos are not huge. Needs to have a glossary of church terms, esp. architecture. Also, map of UK would have been nice as well.
