FORGOTTEN CHURCHES Exploring England's Hidden Treasures
In the Introduction to this book the author, Luke Sherlock writes:
"Long have I wandered to the hidden churches of England. Past field, marsh and woodland, Beyond suburban estates and rushing commuter roads, to the quiet places where all is still. To sit and think for a time, and better know the story of a nation remembered by these stones".
Here he takes us to seventy-one of the most unusual, intriguing and atmospheric churches, with stories of their craftsmanship and place in the national story, while revealing their secrets and significance.
Each church is illustrated by a full page drawing of the building itself, some part of it, or something significant. The drawings are lovely and capture well the spirit of their subject.
A peaceful read, but also an excellent guidebook to hidden treasures. 176 A5 pages. Hardback.
