London''s Parish Churches

This is a new edition of John Leonard''s popular London''s Parish Churches , first published in 1997. With over 200 new colour photographs by the author, it provides both an historical account of churches in the capital from Anglo-Saxon beginnings to the dawn of the twenty-first century and also an invaluable guide to over 120 of the finest parish churches. London contains a high proportion of the greatest post-Reformation churches in the country and all the surviving medieval and Wren churches in the City of London are here with plans of many by Wren and Hawksmoor. The book concludes with a generous selection of the best modern churches. John Leonard, a Londoner by birth, is a retired consultant physician from Manchester who has written widely about parish churches. See more
