Bøger af Frederick W Woodhouse

""The Churches of Coventry"" is a comprehensive guidebook that explores the religious history and architecture of Coventry, a city located in the West Midlands of England. Written by Frederick W. Woodhouse, an expert in local history and a former resident of the city, the book provides a detailed account of the development of Coventry's churches from the medieval period to the present day. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific church or group of churches. Woodhouse provides a wealth of information on each building, including its architectural style, historical context, and notable features. He also discusses the role of each church in the community, as well as its significance in the wider context of English religious history.In addition to its informative text, ""The Churches of Coventry"" is also filled with stunning photographs and illustrations that bring the city's religious heritage to life. Whether you are a local resident or a visitor to Coventry, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the city's rich cultural and religious heritage.The clearing away of galleries, the provision of new seating and the renewal of much window tracery have been the principal changes, the greatest loss being the destruction of the Corpus Christi Chapel. The nave is of moderate width and consists of only four bays, the eastern arches being narrower and made to abut against the tower after the manner of flying buttresses. The columns are clusters of four large filleted shafts separated by small ones while the bases are high and evidently meant to be seen above the benches. The caps are shallow and very simple, while the shafts of each pier reappear as part of the arch moulding.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
