A Stonemason’s Guide to the Churches of the British Isles

Churches are many things to us: they are places of worship, vibrant community hubs and oases of calm reflection. To know a church is to hold a key to the past that unlocks an understanding of our shared history. Andrew Ziminski has spent decades as a stonemason and church conservator, often acting as an informal guide to curious visitors. Church Going is his handbook to the medieval churches of the British Isles in which he reveals their fascinating stories – a celebration of British architectural history.
