Part of the Bell’s Cathedrals series, George Worley’s volume describes the Priory Church of St. Bartholomew-the-Great in Smithfield, one of London’s oldest and most atmospheric churches. Founded in 1123, it preserves a remarkable Norman interior amid the modern city.
Worley recounts the history of the foundation, its monastic past and dissolution, and guides the reader through the fabric of the church, including the nearby church of St. Bartholomew-the-Less. Illustrated and accessible, it is an ideal companion for visitors and lovers of medieval ecclesiastical architecture. This free EPUB edition is ready to read on any e-reader, tablet, or phone.
