Description

Embark on a captivating journey through England's architectural marvels with Simon Jenkins' 'England's Cathedrals'. These awe-inspiring structures, unrivalled in their grandeur and historical significance, stand as the nation's crowning glory, surpassing even the most opulent palaces and stately homes. For a millennium, these sacred edifices have drawn pilgrims and admirers alike, seeking solace, faith, and sheer beauty.

Jenkins' masterful exploration invites readers to cast a fresh eye upon these familiar yet extraordinary landmarks. Attracting nearly half of England's population annually, cathedrals continue to dominate both the physical and cultural landscape. They serve as steadfast guardians of tradition, bearing witness to the ebb and flow of history, whilst simultaneously adapting to the needs of modern society.

These magnificent buildings are far more than mere stone and mortar; they are the beating heart of civic life, offering sanctuary, welfare, and spiritual uplift to all who cross their thresholds. In an age of rapid change, they remain a tangible link to our past, offering a glimpse of the sublime just as they did when first constructed.

Lavishly illustrated, 'England's Cathedrals' serves as both a companion to Jenkins' earlier work and a mesmerising tour of the nation's soul, as expressed through its most astonishing architectural achievements. Prepare to be enthralled by this exquisite exploration of England's cathedrals, standing proud as beacons of beauty, history, and hope.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason.

If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse.
