First printed in the Preston Chronicle, these sketches visit every church and chapel in the Lancashire town, from the parish church and St Wilfrid’s to the Wesleyan, Baptist and Independent chapels. The writer describes buildings, histories and congregations and paints cheerfully unsparing portraits of the parsons and priests, down to their curls and umbrellas.
