Cotswold Churches

In the fifteenth century the happy conjuncture of great wealth produced by the wool trade and an unmatched building material in the Cotswold limestone gave rise to some of the finest medieval parish churches in England.Those at Cirencester, Burford, Fairford, Chipping Campden and Northleach are all of the greatest possible interest to the lover of old churches. But David Verey is not only concerned with the Perpendicular movement, and devotes equal attention to the remarkable Norman work at Elkstone, the Georgian Gothick of Tetbury and the later contributions of Scott, Teulon, Bodley and Comper. Beautifully written and richly illustrated, this book will appeal to all lovers of church architecture and of the Cotswolds.
