“Beautiful book bought for a friend’s birthday, with gorgeous illustrations. She loves visiting churches and I fully expect her to go to view some mentioned in the book.”
“A fascinating book from someone who has a serious interest that has been kindly shared with us. I think the wonderful illustrations help to make the book more appealing, but the details in the narrative are so right. It makes you feel as though you are wandering through the churches and surrounds yourself. A possible after dinner speaker?”
“This book is a wonderful book for peaceful moments but also great for context when visiting the locations. I enjoy taking a look around a church when armed with its history. The illustrations are also beautiful. A lovely book.”
“"Forgotten Churches: Exploring England's Hidden Treasures" is a captivating journey through some of the country’s most overlooked yet historically rich places of worship. This book is more than just a guide—it’s a lovingly crafted tribute to the architectural beauty, spiritual heritage, and hidden stories of England’s lesser-known churches.
