[Kevin de Ataíde · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have delighted in this large-format tour of some of the most beautiful of the survivals of the English Reformation. Some of them have retained wall-paintings, others have retained much of the super-structure of the original Catholic buildings, whether Anglo-Saxon or Norman, still others have been renovated in the nineteenth-century, during the Gothic revival period. I do recommend this excellent book, which comments individually on each building, with a historical synthesis and high-definition pictures.
