An insightful and charming history of Britain's churches - by an author who spends his life working in them.
A BLACKWELL'S Non-Fiction Book of the Month
'Joyous and illuminating' Sir Tony Robinson
A Book of the Year in The Times, Telegraph, Church Times and BBC History Magazine
Churches are many things to us - they are places of worship, vibrant community hubs and oases of calm reflection. To know a church is to hold a key to the past that unlocks an understanding of our shared history.
Andrew Ziminski has spent decades as a stonemason and church conservator, acting as an informal guide to curious visitors. Church Going is his handbook to the medieval churches of the British Isles, in which he reveals their fascinating histories, features and furnishings, from flying buttresses to rood screens, lichgates to chancels. Beautifully written and richly illustrated, it is a celebration of British architectural history.
