As a category, places of worship includes an extremely high proportion of the UK’s grade I and category A listed buildings and most of our oldest ones. Moreover, these buildings have been ornamented by the greatest artists of their period, from sculptors and carvers of wood and stone, to the painters and decorators of ceilings, panels, murals and stained glass windows.
However, as the resources of congregations continue to decline, it is also the most threatened category, and the number of closures is set to rise sharply.
Historic Churches magazine celebrates this heritage of ecclesiastical art and architecture, promotes its conservation, and publicises developments in the fight to keep the UK’s historic places of worship open and cared for.
Beautifully illustrated in full colour throughout, the 30th edition of Historic Churches will be of interest to all who are involved in the maintenance and conservation of places of worship and their memorials, or who have an interest in this precious legacy.
A digital 'flipping book' version is available here free of charge, or order a printed copy of the 2023 edition below.
The 31st edition will be published in October 2024. |
