Magnificent photographs celebrate the history, the settings, and the graceful structures of the abbeys and monasteries that once proudly dotted England's landscape. Gaze awestruck at the incredibly beautiful Canterbury Cathedral, where Thomas à Becket suffered martyrdom; at the fortresslike Battle Abbey from the days of the Norman invasion; and at the distinctive outline of Whitby Abbey, perched high on the cliffs in North Yorkshire. Their beauty is truly a tribute to the power of the spirit.

Country Series Abbeys Monasteries Derry Brabbs 9781841880471 Books Reviews

• This book is a survey showing a few photographs each of many abbeys, monasteries and cathedrals across England, both active and ruined, with a small amount of descriptive text giving a spot of historical context. Having read Derry Brabbs' magnificent "The Road to Santiago", I was interested to see more of his exquisite and sensitive photography of ancient places. His writing is sprightly and pleasant. My only disappointment is that this is such a small format for beautiful photographs. Still, this is a lovely book to hold in hand and do a bit of armchair traveling.
• Nice book for those interested in historic abbeys and monasteries,especially ones destroyed during the Reformation.
• It is the next thing to being able to visit these places in person. Derry Brabbs is a genius with his camera. I also give his books as gifts and they are always greatly appreciated.
