This portrait of the parish church, written by the architectural author and presenter of the BBC TV series "Six English Towns", emphasizes the character and aesthetic value of the English church rather than its historical evolution, and features interiors, decorations and furnishings. Alec Clifton-Taylor discusses at length the treatment which old churches were given by the Victorians and explains what he feels is most worth looking for and why. There is a section in which the character of each county's churches is defined, and the book concludes with a list of the churches the author feels are best worth a visit from an artistic standpoint. Alec Clifton-Taylor also wrote "The Pattern of English Building".

Six More English Towns

<p>Small towns are an important part of English architectural heritage. Alec Clifton-Taylor has selected 6 to show how site, local materials, traditions in building, plus social and commercial history have given each a distinct character. The towns chosen are Chichester, Richmond, Tewkesbury, Stamford, Totnes and Ludlow. Important buildings receive notice but the author also focuses heavily upon houses, cottages, shops and markets that together comprise the great bulk of each town's buildings. The author's unrivalled knowledge of buildings and building materials make his book a delight to read and an truly invaluable guide. A well illustrated and detailed work, it does justice to each town's character and enduring charm.</p>
