Summary:

There are few sights more evocative of England than a small village whose golden stone cottages are dwarfed by an embattled tower, or a great sweep of landscape from which an elegant spire soars above trees and meadows. This book is a celebration of English churches, which despite their basic arrangement of tower, knave, aisles and chancel are so varied in their architecture, regional styles, structural materials, personalities and settings that they present an endless feast, each one combining familiarity with surprise and pleasure. -- Page 4 of cover.
