How To Read A Church
£22.50
Churches & cathedrals play an essential part in our heritage. As community-centred places of worship & as important tourist attractions, they are visited by millions of people each year. But churches were originally built to be read, & so are packed with images, symbols & meanings that often need explanation. This book will unlock all the treasures they contain. Described by Christopher Howse in the Daily Telegraph as 'a handy crash course in church literacy', the first edition of this unique & accessible guide to the common symbols & meanings in church art & architecture became a bestseller on first publication. Now this fascinating & lively book is available in a new illustrated edition. Over 100 stunning colour photographs represent the very best in church architecture
- from paintings, fonts & altars, to pew ends, choir stalls & stained glass windows. It is the ultimate reference for anybody who wants to know more about what they see in a church or cathedral from the significance of church layouts, the symbolism of key scenes & the importance of details, to the use of colours & letters.

How To Read A Country
House
£22.50
Why was heraldry so important to the families for whom houses were built? How does the layout of a house reveal the values of the people who lived in it? By reading the architectural features of a house
- even simple items such as windows, doors, chimneys & staircases
- we can learn so much about the past. Interiors, as well as exteriors, have a story to tell, with floor layouts & contents of rooms revealing much about the people who built & lived in them. We can also read the iconography of a house: its symbols & images, spanning subjects such as classical mythology, religion & British history. Heraldry too is an essential tool for understanding much of the details found in country houses, from coats of arms to crests, or fireplace decorations & ceiling bosses. Through all this, we gain a glimpse into the social world of the families who lived there
- & discover that the stories of many country houses are inextricably linked by marriage, royalty or political or military service.

Richly illustrated with stunning photographs from the unique archive of Country Life magazine, this book is a joy for all those who want to learn more about our heritage, art & architecture, & the essential characteristics of a classic country house.
