Arts & Crafts Churches is the first comprehensive account of a remarkable but often overlooked chapter in British architectural history. Alec Hamilton examines more than 200 churches built mainly between 1884 and 1918 across England, Scotland and Wales, setting familiar masterpieces alongside scores of less widely known buildings that express Arts and Crafts ideals just as vividly.
Lavishly illustrated and organised by region, the book explores architecture, stained glass, furniture, lighting, carving and metalwork while explaining the social, political and religious circumstances behind these buildings. Winner of the 2021 Art+Christianity Book Award and the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain's Colvin Prize, it is both an authoritative study and an inspiring travelling companion.
