The first version of this three-volume work was published in 1829
as a question-and-answer book of 80 pages. The eleventh, and
definitive, 1882 edition of this hugely popular, highly illustrated
work, reissued here, was published at the urging of Sir George
Gilbert Scott, and consists of two volumes on Gothic ecclesiastical
architecture and a 'companion' volume on church vestments. Matthew
Holbeche Bloxam (1805-88), a solicitor by profession, was an
enthusiastic architectural historian with a passion for churches.
In the preface, as well as explaining his reasons for another
edition, Bloxam records his concern that some features he had
recorded fifty years earlier no longer exist: 'In the so-called
restorations of ancient churches, not a few historical features ...
have been ruthlessly, and in many cases needlessly, swept away.'
Volume 3 discusses vestments, post-Reformation changes to church
interiors, and funerary monuments.
