Introduction

Many parish churches and chapels are the oldest building in their town or village; some of them may be over a thousand years old. Throughout their long history these pillars of community have usually witnessed change, sometimes beyond recognition.

Historical Significance

Countless houses of worship bear the scars of trials and tribulations, the effects of war, restorative vandalism, parochial indifference and the zeal of Puritanical iconoclasts.
