The county of Buckinghamshire has a rich and varied past which is
reflected in its historic churches. In Churches of Buckinghamshire,
author Eddie Brazil explores the architecture, history and beauty
of a selection of the most interesting churches from all over the
county, both the well-known and those waiting to be discovered by a
wider audience. The buildings range from Anglo Saxon, at Wing, and
Norman/Romanesque, at Stewkley, through the many Gothic stages to
the bare, box pew interiors of Protestantism, the plain simplicity
of Jordans Meeting house, Victorian reimaginings of the past and
the glass and concrete functionalism of the modern day. The book
examines how the architecture and history of Buckinghamshire's
churches was not only fashioned and changed by developments in
building and architectural innovation, but also the religious,
political and social demands. of the time, and how they have become
integral to the cultural identity of England. This fascinating
picture of an important part of the history of Buckinghamshire over
the centuries will be of interest to all those who live in or are
visiting this attractive county in England.
