Publisher's Synopsis
A Handbook of English Ecclesiology, published in 1847 by the Ecclesiological Society, is a comprehensive guide to the architecture, decoration, and symbolism of English churches. The book provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of various elements of church design, including the layout, windows, altars, fonts, and pews. It also explores the history and significance of different styles of church architecture, such as Gothic and Romanesque. The authors of the book were part of a movement that sought to revive and promote traditional Christian art and architecture in England. As such, the book emphasizes the importance of beauty and symbolism in church design, and encourages readers to appreciate the spiritual significance of the physical spaces in which they worship. This handbook is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and aesthetics of English churches, as well as for those involved in the design and decoration of religious spaces.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
