Description

Discover the deeply Christian roots of England in this fascinating exploration of its Catholic heritage. From the great medieval cathedrals to little-known saints and recusant houses, this book takes you on a journey across the nation's byways and highways.

Traversing the country's ancient churches, ruined abbeys, and stories of courageous witness to the Faith, this book reveals the Christian Faith is woven into the very fabric of England. Each place has its own unique character and lessons for us today, from the history of the Church to the power of tradition and folk memory.

Although the focus is on Catholic England, many of the buildings featured are now in the care of the Church of England, offering a broader understanding of the Christian story in this land.
