First in a series of invaluable and straightforward pocket guides to the Anglican churches of Suffolk. Substantial reference glossaries provide detailed information on all different aspects of church architecture, history and saints.

These guides provide the answers to these questions and more. This is a fascinating guide that will help the church visitor to understand the universal features of churches as well as those unique to each different area. Each book is highly illustrated with photographs and line drawings and a detailed map aids locating each church within the county. The profusion of churches in Suffolk is not only examples of beautiful architecture but is also records of their communities, and form an important part of the history of England.
