Description
The Guide to Norfolk Churches provides an in-depth exploration of the county's rich medieval heritage. With its comprehensive survey and detailed index, this guide offers a unique insight into the history and architecture of Norfolk's 'living' medieval churches.
Generously illustrated with photographs, line drawings, and a detailed map, the guide helps visitors to understand both the general features of churches and the distinctive characteristics of those in different areas. The expanded reference section answers questions about the symbols used to represent particular saints, the isolation of many Norfolk churches from their villages, and the presence of pagan motifs in Christian churches.
Written by enthusiasts for both the churches and the county, this guide reveals that every church, regardless of its size or significance, has a unique story to tell. With its fascinating and illuminating descriptions, The Guide to Norfolk Churches provides the key to unlocking the secrets of these remarkable buildings.
