Church Art/Architecture

Great Churches of London is a lavishly illustrated look at the stunning religious architecture of England's capital.

An illustrated history of sixteen of the world's greatest cathedrals, interwoven with the lives, legacies and scandals of the people who built them.

Produced in partnership with the National Churches Trust, this book is a sumptuous, beautifully illustrated history of the churches of England, told through the objects within them.

This guide informs visitors to churches and cathedrals how to interpret the common images and meanings in church art and architecture. It explains how to identify people, scenes, details and their significance, and explores the symbolism of different animals, plants, colours, numbers and letters.
