111 Churches in London That You Shouldn't Miss
takes you through the doors of 111 rarely visited churches, but which,
with the help of this informative guide are now on the map! With their
spires, towers, columns and capitals, vaults and arches, carvings and
paintings, London churches tell us a lot about its architecture and its
history. And with their beautifully carved fonts, pulpits, carvings,
mosaics and decorative objects, they show you centuries of skill and
labour that went into making these buildings for which the main
objectives were majesty, endurance and posterity.

Emma Rose Barber is an art historian who has been
teaching art history mainly to adults for many years. She has also taken
specialist study tours to cities and towns in Italy and the
Netherlands. She specialises in the medieval and Renaissance periods and
has a particular fondness for quirky, less-well known art. And it was
this interest that took her to wandering around the streets of London,
entering and visiting churches that she never knew were there; let alone
what wonders they hold in store! She has given lectures and tours in
museums and has written articles ranging from Bloomsbury Bookplates to the Romanian folk pocket.
