Britain's lost churches : the forgotten holy sites of Britain's Christian past /

Hyde, Matthew.

Britain's lost churches : the forgotten holy sites of Britain's Christian past / Matthew Hyde. - London : Aurum Press, 2015. - 192 pages : illustrations ; 29 cm.

Neglected to the elements, renovated for commercial use or demolished completely, many of Britain's beautiful churches have vanished, leaving no trace except photographs or illustrations to mark their existence. Architectural commentator Matthew Hyde travels the length and breadth of the country to seek out and tell the stories of these wonderful buildings, from churches that defy the elements in Orkney to abbeys destroyed in Henry VIII's dissolution programme and the cathedrals that suffered the terrible effects of the Blitz in World War Two.
