While travelling all over Britain on his push bike, non-flying
travel writer Dixe Wills is forever popping into old churches to
look around, grab a moment of tranquility or just to shelter from
the elements. Extending his love of all things tiny into yet
another area, this book is his guide to 60 of the loveliest and
most diminutive churches that Britain has to offer, many of which
are known only to locals or tourists who are simply lucky enough to
stumble across them. Each church is so tiny that only about 30
people could fit comfortably inside, and each is open to the
public. Representing a unique slice of British local history and
attitudes, tiny churches are the great survivors of the world.
Unlike grand cathedrals, they were built to serve more humble ends,
but they withstood centuries of religious unrest (and the Victorian
'church improvers') to survive into this most irreligious of
centuries. Today, scattered all over Britain, these atmospheric
places retain the essence of what they were when the stonemasons,
labourers, smiths, carpenters and glaziers were corralled together
to build them.
