Opis

Written shortly before his death in 1919, English Church Fittings, Furniture & Accessories forms a sequel and companion volume to John Charles Cox's The English Parish Church. From churchyard gateway to pulpit, Cox proves a friendly and knowledgeable guide. His survey of church design from the Middle Ages onwards includes fonts, carvings, screens, bells, lecterns, monuments, murals, chained books and more besides. He selects the finest examples from across England, each feature considered in the context of historical development and regional variation and accompanied throughout by illustrations and photographs.
