Regular price
€19.99
Lancashire is a county of contrasts, with heavily industrialised and urbanised areas, remote mountain and moorland and an extensive coastline. These contrasts are reflected in its churches, from buildings that have stood from the Middle Ages in historic towns and villages including the county town of Lancaster, Nonconformist chapels and Georgian structures, to the churches built during the industrial and Victorian age where the wealth and population of Lancashire grew massively and people flocked to popular new leisure destinations such as Blackpool, into the modern era of the last century.
In Churches of Lancashire, author David Paul 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 Lancashire over the centuries will be of interest to all those who live in or are visiting this attractive county in England.
David Paul is a well-known local historian and author, who has written a number of books for Amberley on places in the North West and West Midlands and elsewhere. He lives in Widnes.
