The Old Churches of Our Land

In his own ubiquitous style, prolific author and church historian Nick Page invites us on a journey through 101 of Britain's most intriguing churches and chapels. From windswept hilltop sanctuaries to hidden urban gems, he brings their history vividly to life though fascinating field trips, revealing how these buildings were shaped, how they evolved, and why they continue to captivate and speak to us today.
As Page uncovers the stories etched into arches, towers and timbered roofs, he shows how these sacred spaces have formed Britain spiritually, culturally and physically. They have weathered war, plague, prejudice and neglect. Their stones have cracked, their foundations have shifted, yet they endure - beautiful, fragile, steadfast. This is a celebration of the quiet marvels scattered across our landscape and an invitation to rediscover them with fresh eyes in the twenty‑first century.
