  The village church, for centuries the center of the English village, is one of the most endearing features of the countryside. Though they frequently share common features, every church is unique, changing and growing through the centuries as needs and fashions dictate, clearly reflecting the spirit of both those who built them and those who, over the centuries, have lavished care and affection on what has become England's richest legacy of medieval art and architecture.Abundantly illustrated with nearly 200 of the author's own fine pen-and-ink drawings, this volume is a valuable guide to all those interested in English churches.
