A superb, accessible introduction August 26, 2007
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I was looking for a short accessible guide to the churches in the City of London, specifically Wren's works, and bought a copy of this book in the Museum of London bookshop.
It's a small book in terms of page size (about 4 inches by 3 inches, so it fits easily into a bag) and is 200 pages long, in which it covers 47 churches and 8 towers (where the main body of the church has been demolished). There is no standard format but generally there are two pages of text and either one or two black-and-white pictures of each church and a shorter section on the towers. In addition there is a 12-page introduction, as well as guides to three walking tours through the city (eastern section, central section and western section) covering all the churches in the book.
I am not a historian, architect, or even a particularly religious person but for me this was pitched absolutely perfectly. There are more detailed (and drier!) texts you can use as a follow-up, if you so wish. If you are looking for a simple, accessible introduction, or the basis for a tour of the churches this book is thoroughly recommended and is excellent value at the price.
