O knihe

Astonishing amounts of treasures are contained in old English Parish Churches, and those preserved in the Home Counties are many, and often remarkable. This text contains a detailed catalogue of ancient chests and chairs belonging to these churches, each piece illustrated in picture or pencil, and accompanied by interesting information and detailed descriptions. A fascinating book sure to be of considerable value to those with an interest in historical furniture, this text is not to be missed by enthusiasts of the subject and makes for a great addition to collectors of such literature. The chapters of this book include: Middlesex: Ruislip and Hayes; Hertfordshire: Aldenham, Northchurch, Kind's Langley Hemel Hempstead; Hertfordshire: St. Albans, Broxbourne, Cheshunt, Watford; Hertfordshire: Much Hadham, Baldock, Hitchin; Essex: Loughton, Epping Upland, Low Leyton, Waltham Abbey; Essex: Little Canfield, Dunmow, Newport, Thaxted; et cetera. This antiquarian text has been elected for modern republication due to its educational value, and we are proud to republish it now with an additional introduction on the history of furniture.
