  The English Church is a celebration of 100 of the finest churches England has to offer. From the tiny vernacular church to former cathedrals and abbeys that now operate as parish churches, this is a diverse and fascinating collection of ecclesiastic architectural treasures. More than 300 specially commissioned, full-colour photographs capture the fine details and grandeur of churches, from Truro in Cornwall to Carlisle near the Scottish border. Meanwhile the lively and informative text, written by one of England's foremost experts on church history and design, sheds light on the churches' unique features. Packed with little-known facts and anecdotes and an array of breathtaking images, this book is a perfect souvenir for overseas or UK visitors, or anyone with an interest in English history and architecture.
