143. Churchgoing: The Curious Story Of Britain’s Churches
Forum

Churches are many things to us—they are places of worship, vibrant community hubs and oases of calm reflection. To know a church is to hold a key to the past that unlocks an understanding of our shared history. Andrew Ziminski has spent decades as a stonemason and church conservator, acting as an informal guide to curious visitors. For Chalke, Andrew takes us on a tour of the medieval churches of the British Isles, revealing their fascinating histories, features and furnishings, from flying buttresses to rood screens, lichgates to chancels.
