The local church is a familiar landmark in every town, city and
village. The story of its past is the story of the people for whom,
down the centuries, it was the centre of the community. But how
many people actually understand the reason for it being built in
that particular place, how it was constructed, or why it was
decorated in such a style? Discovering this information can
sometimes be difficult due to the diversity of local building
materials used, and to the renovation and rebuilding of more recent
years. But there are always clues, both inside and outside. In this
informative guide, Trevor Yorke places the period styles of church
fabric and decoration into an easy to read form that is packed with
photographs, pictures, and diagrams. His simple but graphic
approach will be welcomed by all for whom a visit to a church is
also a brief journey through time itself.
