Winner of the DAM Architectural Book Award 2017 This book - an
astonishing achievement following five years of detailed and
original research - presents the first systematic survey of the
fifty most important medieval parish church towers and spires in
England, covering a period of some five hundred years. The
introduction provides an overview of the technological and
aesthetic development of towers and spires, and examines the
evolution of their major architectural elements. The process of
medieval steeple construction is also explored. The main part of
the book is devoted to a richly illustrated survey of the fifty
most important medieval steeples in England, from renowned Saxon
churches such as Earls Barton, Northamptonshire, to those of almost
cathedral-like proportions such as Salle in Norfolk or Chipping
Campden in the heart of the Cotswolds. With over 250 high-quality
photographs and around 175 immaculate explanatory line drawings,
this book will appeal to the many thousands who visit England's
parish churches and who find in them some of the greatest pleasures
that buildings can offer.
