Omschrijving

Pennine hills, unspoilt moorland, dramatic dales, picturesque villages, market towns and a magnificent coast line are all part of the scenery of County Durham.

The history is equally rich from early farming settlement, conquests, rebellion, mining and industrial development and always present through these times have been the churches. The earliest churches in the county date from the Anglo-Saxon era and the Norman Prince Bishops of Durham instituted a new building prograe, including several churches dedicated to the local saint Cuthbert. Later events all left their mark on the county's churches, from the Reformation and Civil War to the rise of dissenting groups such as Quakers and Methodists. Industrial development and the growth of densely populated urban areas required a new church building program by the Victorians and in the last century the story of County Durham's churches has continued. In Churches of County Durham, author Colin Wilkinson explores a cross-section of historical churches throughout the county, both the well known and those waiting to be discovered by a wider audience.

This fascinating picture of an important part of the history of County Durham over the centuries will be of interest to all those who live in or are visiting this splendid county in England.
