English Parish Churches

The late Sir John Betjeman described this volume as “a gem of a book…condensed knowledge without being stodgy, affectionate without being mawkish.” From the Saxon simplicity of the little church of St. Lawrence at Bradford-on-Avon to the late Victorian splendor of Holy Trinity, Sloane Street, London, Edwin Smith`s photographs of parish churches epitomize English history and the English way of life. Graham Hutton`s enthusiastic texts set the buildings in their social and historical context, while Olive Cook, Edwin Smith`s window, provides illuminating notes to the pictures. 214 Illus.
