Step inside the quiet nave of medieval English churches, where every object tells a layered story of faith, craft, and community. Every bench has a story. In English Church Furniture, distinguished antiquary J. Charles Cox offers an engaging tour of parish church interiors, from altars, pulpits and pews to fonts, screens, glass, plate and tombs. Written as both a practical church architecture reference and an accessible ecclesiastical history handbook, it explains how furnishings arose, what they meant to worshippers, and how they changed through Reformation, civil war and Victorian restoration. Clear, vivid and rooted in close observation, it is as rewarding for a casual visitor as for the serious student. Long valued as an antiquarian church furniture guide, Cox's study also serves as a trusted church restoration reference and evokes the daily rhythms of historic English parishes. His careful attention to medieval church fittings and windows makes it an English stained glass guide in miniature, while its survey of the great church monuments of Britain ensures enduring interest for church historians, local researchers and anyone exploring medieval English churches across the countryside. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
