Shrines of Our Lady in England |
I knew nothing about shrines until I read this attractive new book covering thirty or so in England. After a helpful introduction to set the scene and explain their role, the author devotes a chapter to each shrine, gives its history and with delightful pencil sketches shows how it looks today. Each chapter ends with practical information such as directions, times of services, local attractions as well as accommodation and even good local pubs. Excellent.
