The cathedrals of England and Wales are remarkable buildings. From
the centuries leading up to the Norman Conquest to the tumults of
the Reformation to the devastating wars of the 20th century, they
carry traces of our nations' darkest moments and most brilliant
endeavours. This beautifully illustrated new volume tells the
stories behind 50 remarkable artefacts - one for each cathedral -
that have been preserved by the cathedrals of the Church of England
and the Church in Wales. Featuring the Magna Carta of Salisbury
Cathedral as well as the oldest book of English literature in the
world, an Anglo-Saxon portable sundial, and Pre-Raphaelite glass,
painting and embroidery, these local and national treasures are a
vital part of our heritage, testifying to the powerful and enduring
links between cathedrals and the wider communities of which they
are part.
