ENGLAND’S HISTORIC CHURCHES BY TRAIN
by Murray Naylor
(Pen & Sword £25) ISBN 9781-4738-71427
Acompanion volume to England’s Cathedrals by Train, this equally fine publication has a great deal to offer any itinerant railway traveller or transport enthusiast interested in ecclesiastical history.
The 32 carefully selected churches are covered in 18 regional chapters, backed up by excellent notes on both the railways and on the history and architecture of the churches themselves. The photos also cover the railways and the whole enterprise is unusual and satisfying. (214pp, hardback)
