Review
... surprisingly fascinating, mainly because the buildings themselves are so peculiar (Independent on Sunday )
What I especially love about this book is that its assembly seems to have been drawn almost at random ... welcome to a study in eclectic, eccentric ecclesiastical exploration. (Eastern Daily Press )
Stanford perfectly captures, in words and pictures, these precious remnants of Saxon, Norman and Restoration society and religion. (Beautiful Britain )
Beautifully illustrated this lavish book documents the diversity of styles that characterise each building. (Country Living )
A fascinating glimpse into the decorative and iconographic schemes of pre-Reformation England. (Let's Talk )

Format:Hardcover
To be fair the author, he is upfront about the fact that this book features just 56 out of the close to 700 churches in Suffolk, making it a highly personal and subjective selection. There's no room for Eye or Lavenham, though this is counterbalanced by the similarly grand Southwold and Long Melford. There are some lovely photos here, some taken in bright conditions, others in flat light, which isn't quite so flattering. One or two haven't been reproduced particularly well, including the frontispiece showing the interior of Southwold, with rather obvious burnt-out highlights in the east window, but hey-ho, that's one of the possible downsides of digital photography. All in all and nice book, but to my eyes there are some surprising omissions, balnaced by some revealing inclusions.
Format:Hardcover
an excellent book if a little lacking in directions to some of the churches. Am working through visiting all of the churches in book!
Format:Hardcover
Excellent - it was a gift for someone interested in churches but who is not particularly fond of reading, so this was ideal as it gave enough interesting detail alongside some beautiful photography.
Listmania!
