Bell's Cathedrals

Více o knize

This book offers a detailed examination of the architectural fabric and history of a significant abbey, based on the author's extensive personal visits over the past twenty years. The illustrations are derived from photographs taken during these visits. Historical insights are drawn from various sources, notably C. Spence's 1851 essay on the abbey church and the official guide available at the church, as well as the comprehensive "Records of Romsey Abbey" by Rev. Henry G. D. Liveing, which chronicles the abbey's history from its early ninth-century foundation to 1558. Readers seeking more in-depth information are encouraged to consult this last work. The author expresses gratitude to the vicars for granting access to the building and permission to photograph it from various angles.
