Description
Cornwall's churches are a complex and fascinating topic, with many buildings never being completed as intended. This is partly due to the Reformation, which had a significant impact on the country's church fabric. The majority of Cornish churches date back to the Perpendicular Gothic period, with granite being the preferred building material by the 16th century. Joanna Mattingly explores a selection of churches across Cornwall, including those from the medieval period and beyond. The book features all dendro-dated churches and examples from each of the ten deaneries, offering insights into the county's ecclesiastical, architectural, and social history. With its rich history and engaging aspects, Churches of Cornwall is an interesting read for local historians, residents, and visitors to the county. The book is illustrated throughout, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the subject.
