COMPANION TO ABBEYS AND CATHEDRALS (PB)

No two cathedrals or abbeys are alike in conception, location, construction or history, and it is this that gives them their limitless appeal. This comprehensive volume contains over 1,450 entries arranged alphabetically, together with lists of useful addresses and further reading, and is richly illustrated with colour and black and white photographs, plans and drawings. A wealth of subjects including architecture, liturgy, history and monasticism is covered in detail and assist in placing research in a wider historical context.
