A handy and easy-to-carry book which offers a visual approach to reading the architecture of churches.
Covering all the ecclesiastical building types of Western Christianity, you are taken on a journey tracing the development of the church building from the simple stone halls of the Anglo-Saxon period right through to the eclectic designs of the nineteenth century. Another addition to the bestselling series, How to Read Churches is a pocket-sized practical guide showing you how to search for architectural clues that tell hidden stories expressing the liturgical function and spiritual symbolism of a church building.
