Nigel Andrew explores the beauty and emotional impact of the great English church monuments of the seventeenth century - a little known and hugely undervalued national art treasure. Scattered about the country in often remote parish churches, these monuments represent some of the finest sculpture and architectural design of their age. Until now, they have been the preserve of antiquarian specialists, but this book (illustrated with the author's atmospheric photos) makes them accessible to anyone with an eye for beauty. But The Mother of Beauty is not only about monuments... 244 pages, 112 b&w photos.
