About This Item
Donongton: Shaun Tyas , 2023. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. A fine new copy. The immediate post-Reformation period in England was one of tumultuous change, upheavals which greatly affected the design and layout of parish churches. In this illustrated and fully referenced study, the late Susan Orlik examines the detailed surviving evidence for these innovations in the parish churches of Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire, in the context of national trends, making frequent comparisons with examples elsewhere in the country. Areas covered include the importance of pews, pulpits, the display of Royal Arms, design of fonts, communion rails and communion tables; and the display of Biblical texts on the walls. There is a glossary of technical terms and a gazetteer of sites discussed, a bibliography and a comprehensive index. 384pp.
