The county of Gloucestershire has a rich and varied past which is
reflected in its historic churches. The landscape is dominated by
two principal features - the River Severn and the Cotswold hills
– and Gloucestershire’s churches reflect the changing face of
the county, from the Forest of Dean to the Cotswold escarpment, the
Severn Vale to the watery southern boundary by the River Thames. In
Churches of Gloucestershire, author Nicola Coldstream explores a
selection of the most interesting churches across the whole of the
county, both well-known and those waiting to be discovered by a
wider audience. The buildings range from rural and urban churches,
dating from the Anglo-Saxons to the modern age, some displaying
Gloucestershire’s wealth from the mediaeval wool trade, others
its industrial past. Selected for their architectural interest or
their contents such as tombs, fonts and wall-paintings, interesting
Roman Catholic and Nonconformist buildings are also included. This
fascinating picture of an important part of the history of
Gloucestershire over the centuries will be of interest to all those
who live in or are visiting this attractive county in England.
