About the Book

The profusion of medieval churches in Norfolk provides not only examples of beautiful church architecture, but also records life in their communities and offers an insight into the history of medieval England. The third revised and enlarged edition of The Guide to Norfolk Churches contains an encyclopaedic glossary and a detailed index, which contrbute to the comprehensive survey provided by this guide. This indespensible guide to the 'living' medieval churches of Norfolk helps the visitor to understand both the general features of churches and the unique aspects of those in different areas. The guide is generously illustrated with photographs, line drawings and a detailed map to aid in locating each church within the county. The expanded reference section is designed to answer a host of questions which may tease the church visitor. For example, what symbols are used to represent particular saints? Why do so many Norfolk churches stand isolated from their villages? And why does the pagan Green Man find a place in our Christian churches? This book provides the answers to these and other questions. Written by enthusiasts for both the churches and the county in which they stand, the great appeal of this guide is that, once the code of church architecture has been broken and the language learned, every church, be it ever so humble, is shown to be unique, with its own story to offer. This guide provides the key. "In this, his revised guide to Norfolk churches, Mr Mortlock has provided us with a fascinating and illuminating description of each and every one he has visited. Armed with this guide the visitor cannot fail to enjoy exploring our lovely churches and having done so, it is my earnest hope that he or she will be inspired to lend their support to these marvellous symbols of our heritage." From the Foreword by the Countess of Leicester

Review :
"I was pleasantly surprised that it was not only easily readable but was quite comprehensive in detail of the buildings, both the exterior and the interior building feature and also the furnishings. It's good to find that the authors have sought to find the uniqueness of each building however small, rather than just identifying their architectural style and then dwelling in detail only on the grand." Across the See, magazine of the Diocese of Norwich "I fell on this book with delight, and it became my companion for weeks as I worked my way through it. I am very pleased with the new Mortlock edition, it is essential reading, and a good companion. I have added it enthusiastically to my travelling armoury." Simon Knott, www.norfolkchurches.co.uk "This guide sets out to be far more accessible, and succeeds admirably. Entries are warm, well written with nice concision, and are arranged so that they emphasize what makes a church special." British Archaeology Magazine
