Slender Thread - The Origins and Development of the English Benedictine mission at Bungay, 1657-2007 by Edward Crouzet |
Seldom does a book so literally parochial as the history of a parish deserve notice beyond its own niche market, but St Edmund's, Bungay, claims to spring from the oldest Catholic mission in eastern England and its 350 year existence reflects the social and religious development of the country. Exceptionally, therefore, it may appeal also to the general reader. Beautifully illustrated and fluently written, this short work of 128 pages is a little gem.
