The cathedrals of England and Wales are remarkable buildings. From the centuries leading up to the Norman Conquest to the tumults of the Reformation to the devastating wars of the 20th century, they carry traces of our nations' darkest moments and most brilliant endeavours. This beautifully illustrated new volume tells the stories behind 50 remarkable artefacts ? one for each cathedral ? that have been preserved by the cathedrals of the Church of England and the Church in Wales. Featuring manuscripts such as the Magna Carta of Salisbury Cathedral as well as lesser known but equally fascinating shrines, sculptures and stained-glass windows, these local and national treasures are a vital part of our heritage. They also testify to the powerful and enduring links between cathedrals and the wider communities of which they are part. AUTHOR: Janet Gough OBE, author, lecturer and advisor on historic churches and cathedrals, was formerly Secretary of the Cathedrals Fabric Commission for England and Director of the Cathedral and Church Buildings Division of the Church of England. SELLING POINTS: . This beautifully illustrated new volume tells the stories behind 50 artefacts from the cathedrals of England and Wales .
