Excerpt from Anglican Church Architecture: With Some Remarks Upon Ecclesiastical Furniture "To say nothing of the plain duty of building new churches in our crowded districts: surely from a grateful spirit, to adorn God's house with every lawful ornament; to make it wide enough to admit with decency and ease an increasing population to kneel within its precincts; to provide for its being outwardly of a gracious aspect in the eyes of those who should come there to listen to God's Word, and to offer up their supplications to Him; to let the common home of the religious sympathies' of all around us be that which we most cheerfully adorn with the rich materials and the finished skill which wealth commands; surely thus to make the temple of the Lord beautiful, and the sanctuary of His poor commodious, is the acting of a fit and well-instructed piety."

This book delves into the fascinating realm of Ecclesiastical Architecture, exploring its profound connection to the rites and ceremonies of the Christian Church. It serves as both an introduction to the study of English church architecture and a practical guide for those involved in building or restoring churches.

The book delves into the historical context of church architecture, highlighting the dedication and piety of our ancestors who considered these structures as offerings to God.
