Religion in Britain after the Reformation was remarkably unstable
and places of worship were the focus of dispute and regular change.
This book is the first substantial synoptic account of
Nonconformist church architecture in England and aims to provide a
history of Nonconformist architecture, using existing buildings
wherever possible. It includes examples from the 17th century to
the present day, covering all parts of the country and each of the
main religious traditions within Nonconformity. Despite the loss of
very large numbers of chapels in the past half-century, there are
still around 20,000 Nonconformist congregations in England. The
book includes some of the smallest wayside chapels as well as some
grand urban structures and aims to mention the most influential
Nonconformist buildings as well as giving examples of the most
common types. These examples are set in the architectural,
religious and cultural context of the development of English
Nonconformity. The chronological arrangement allows the reader to
follow the main architectural development in the Nonconformist
world The range and varied nature of the architecture is
illustrated with new photographs of both interiors and exteriors.
