English Victorian Churches
Victorian churches were often of high quality, reflecting in physical terms the intense theological debates of the time. Often exquisitely furnished, they were visible expressions of the presence and importance of religion at the time. This highly-illustrated book by a leading authority describes many of the finest examples.Many churches were built in England during the reign of Queen Victoria: most were in various varieties of Gothic Revival.
The finest were the results of passionate commitment to an architecture soundly based on scholarly studies known as Ecclesiology. Their architectural qualities reflected aspirations of clergy, laity, and individual benefactors. James Stevens Curl places English churches of the period in their complex social and denominational settings, giving comprehensive accounts of the religious atmosphere and controversies of the times.
