How and why did it all come to look this way?
A summer’s afternoon walk, the typical country Church … this lecture will help you to look at the architecture outside and inside, the furniture, those mysterious nooks and crannies - high and low. How and why did it all come to look this way?
Nicholas will take you on a fascinating journey through English History and that of its Churches, and unravel it before your eyes. “I can’t make you experts” says Nicholas “but I can teach you enough to amaze your friends on that summer afternoon walk.”
