In his quest to curate England's finest ecclesiastical treasures, Simon Jenkins embarked on an odyssey across the nation. The fruit of his labour? A meticulously crafted compendium of the thousand most remarkable churches in the land. With the precision of a detective and the passion of a connoisseur, Jenkins has catalogued these architectural marvels by county, each entry adorned with a star rating from one to five.

The tome is a veritable treasure map, with each county section prefaced by a detailed chart pinpointing the location of every sacred edifice. The pages come alive with stunning colour photographs from the illustrious Country Life archive, offering readers a visual feast to accompany Jenkins' eloquent prose.

Jenkins posits that these hallowed halls house an unparalleled gallery of vernacular art, a bold claim he substantiates with each carefully chosen word and image. Through this extraordinary work, he invites the public to step into a world of architectural wonder, unveiling a museum without walls that has long awaited its moment in the spotlight.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

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. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. 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. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
