Biography
Take a whirlwind tour through the history of parish churches, from their roots in Saxon England to the present day, via the great era of church-building in the 19th century
The Basics
At the centre of our communities throughout the Christian era, churches have been the focal point of our lives in times both religious and secular. With their range of architectural styles, and their fascinating histories, every parish church has a tale to tell.
From Their Saxon Roots to Today
It is all too easy to overlook our parish churches today. In villages and market towns the length and breadth of England, they stand as reminders of a more devout age, the focal points of traditional weddings and burials, but not otherwise much noticed other than by church-goers and enthusiasts. This is to miss an important part of our heritage, though.
