Trade Review
‘The life as well as the liturgy of the cathedral is celebrated in photographs… This is a story told by 30 contributors, all witness to the pride of the place cathedrals retain in the community.’—Marcus Binney, the Times.
-- Marcus Binney * The Times *
‘This volume draws together a very broad array of recent research. It’s range is progidious, stretching from the conception of the physical building… to it’s intellectual, liturgical and spiritual context’—Gabriel Byng, TLS. -- Gabriel Byng * TLS *
