Devon's Churches: A Celebration

Ref: MJB-BK790

Supplied by MJ Books.

Sumptuously illustrated by Harland Walshaw’s splendid black and white photos (always superb, often evocative and sometimes haunting) John Lane’s thoughtful (and thought provoking) text provides purely personal descriptions encapsulating the pure enjoyment of visiting churches.

More than 150 churches are explored in the principal two chapters, and some others are briefly mentioned in the supplementary chapters.

This review by the Bishop of Exeter captures the essence of the book best: “Beautiful prose and stunning photography make this book a true celebration of some of Devon’s churches, and of the interplay between writer and photographer.

John Lane’s description of churches as places of ‘poetry, intimacy and prayer’ shows that this is not just a guide book, but a true pilgrimage into which readers are drawn, and hopefully inspired to undertake for themselves”.

Every lover of the county’s churches will certainly enjoy this wonderful book.
