Description
The Arts & Crafts Church: A Comprehensive Overview This book provides a detailed account of over 200 notable examples of Arts & Crafts churches, mostly built in England, Scotland and Wales between 1884 and 1918. These churches often feature visually arresting exteriors and beautiful works of art within their interiors. While the architects behind these churches were sometimes religiously sceptical, they remained committed to creating beauty despite their ambivalence about its higher purpose. This book explores the context in which these churches were built, shedding light on the changing social landscape of Britain during this period. By examining these churches alongside one another, we gain a deeper understanding of the Arts & Crafts movement and its influence on religious architecture.
