9781910821046: Cathedrals and Abbeys (Amazing and Extraordinary Facts) (Amazing & Extraordinary Facts)

Synopsis

Cathedrals and abbeys are the most beautiful and iconic buildings of the British Isles, and have formed the bedrock of our nation for centuries. This absorbing collection of amazing and extraordinary facts opens the doors of these fascinating structures to reveal their rich historical and architectural heritage. From stories of English Popes, martyred archbishops and renegade bishops to iconoclastic kings, power-hungry nobles and architectural dynasties, as well as the role of the Romans, Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, we explore how the people and religion in Britain have shaped these buildings over the last 2,000 years. Also read about the architectural heritage of British cathedrals, from troublesome spires, stained glass wonders and buy-a-brick campaigns to abbeys in the sea, fortified castle-cathedrals and mass graves. Along with tales of famous memorials and artefacts, fascinating folklore and architectural feats, these intriguing and diverse facts will provide something for every enthusiast to dip into and relish.

Review

A quick-seeming, but deceptively insightful, trawl round the major religious buildings of Britain and Ireland. You really do imbue a heck of a lot about the nation's cathedrals from these pages. It gives such a serious subject a most welcome approach that I heartily approve of. --The Bookbag November 2015
