Description
A striking 2-volume set of Cathedrals, Abbeys, and Churches of England and Wales, published in 1898 by Cassell and Company Ltd. This revised edition, edited by Professor T. G. Bonney, D.Sc., LL.D., F.R.S., offers a rich and detailed survey of some of Britain’s most iconic ecclesiastical architecture.
These volumes are descriptive, historical, and pictorial in nature, providing a thorough exploration of English and Welsh religious heritage. Packed with monochrome illustrations and engravings, they serve as a fascinating visual and textual reference for lovers of architecture, history, and sacred spaces.
The books are bound in half leather with marbled boards and gilt-lettered spines featuring red title labels. The spines show signs of considerable wear and patina, contributing to their antique aesthetic and authenticity. Despite the wear, the bindings remain intact and the contents clean and legible.
