Building a Victorian Country Church by John R. L. Allen Pdf

The late 1860s saw church building on a large and unprecedented scale in Victorian England, one example of which was the parish church which forms the basis of this study. Contemporary documentation relating to the construction of the church has survived in remarkable fullness allowing J.R.L. Allen to present an extremely detailed reconstruction of the materials and equipment used, the funding of the project, the identity of the workmen, specialist masons and architect involved and their pay and conditions as well as the provisions made by the local population to accomodate the construction process.

A Short History of the Church of England by J. F. Kendall Pdf

Excerpt from A Short History of the Church of England When in a book of this size one has to deal with so large a subject as that of the history of the Church of England, it is obvious that much must be left untold. For details of the events in the long career of the National Church, the reader must therefore turn to larger works. But behind events there lie always the ideas and ideals which led to them; and it is simply the ideas and ideals that have influenced, or in turn have been influenced by, the National Church in its long continuous life which I have tried to describe. My hope is that I have so far succeeded in my attempt as to make it possible for my readers to place the facts which they gather from elsewhere in their true perspective, and thus to make their study of the subject of real value to them.

A Little History of the World by E. H. Gombrich Pdf

E. H. Gombrich's Little History of the World, though written in 1935, has become one of the treasures of historical writing since its first publication in English in 2005. The Yale edition alone has now sold over half a million copies, and the book is available worldwide in almost thirty languages. Gombrich was of course the best-known art historian of his time, and his text suggests illustrations on every page. This illustrated edition of the Little History brings together the pellucid humanity of his narrative with the images that may well have been in his mind's eye as he wrote the book. The two hundred illustrations—most of them in full color—are not simple embellishments, though they are beautiful. They emerge from the text, enrich the author's intention, and deepen the pleasure of reading this remarkable work. For this edition the text is reset in a spacious format, flowing around illustrations that range from paintings to line drawings, emblems, motifs, and symbols. The book incorporates freshly drawn maps, a revised preface, and a new index. Blending high-grade design, fine paper, and classic binding, this is both a sumptuous gift book and an enhanced edition of a timeless account of human history.

That Was The Church That Was by Andrew Brown,Linda Woodhead Pdf

The Church of England still seemed an essential part of Englishness, and even of the British state, when Mrs Thatcher was elected in 1979. The decades which followed saw a seismic shift in the foundations of the C of E, leading to the loss of more than half its members and much of its influence. In England today 'religion' has become a toxic brand, and Anglicanism something done by other people. How did this happen? Is there any way back? This 'relentlessly honest' and surprisingly entertaining book tells the dramatic and contentious story of the disappearance of the Church of England from the centre of public life. The authors – religious correspondent Andrew Brown and academic Linda Woodhead – watched this closely, one from the inside and one from the outside. That Was the Church, That Was shows what happened and explains why.
