Product Description
Product Description
The profusion of medieval churches in Norfolk is not only examples of beautiful church architecture but also records of their communities and the history of medieval England. This invaluable and straightforward guide to the 'living' medieval churches of Norfolk helps the church visitor to understand both the universal features of churches and the unique aspects of those in different areas. The guide is highly illustrated with photographs, line drawings and a detailed map to aid in locating each church within the county. It also includes a substantial reference section in encyclopedic form, designed to answer a host of questions which may tease the church visitor. For example, why do so many churches have north doors, and yet so often have them blocked up? And why does the pagan Green Man find a place in our Christian Churches? This book provides the answers to these and other questions. Written by enthusiasts for both the churches and the county in which they stand, the great appeal of this guide is that, once the code of church architecture has been broken and the language learned every church, be it ever so humble, is shown to be unique, with its own story to offer. This guide provides the key.
