Abbeys and Churches of England and Wales: Descriptive, Historical, Pictorial 1887

1887. In the present volume, it is attempted to give some idea of the manifold interest of our abbeys and churches. While it is not intended as an architectural treatise, care has been taken to give some idea of the great variety in date, in design, and in execution which these buildings afford. It inclines to the associations which gather around the buildings, and to their inseparable alliance with the history of the country. Copiously illustrated.
