    An insightful and charming history of Britain's churches - by an author who spends his life working in them

    A joyous and illuminating exploration of our glorious heritage of old churches. A must for anyone who's ever stared at an apse or a misericord with no idea what they're looking at - Sir Tony Robinson

    Andrew Ziminski's books are treasure troves of lived and learned experience. They have changed the way I look at buildings and Britain - Max Porter, author, Grief Is the Thing with Feathers

    From bulletholes in weathervanes to beehives in church walls, Ziminski has an eye for charming details and an ear for a good story - Peter Ross, author, Steeple Chasing

    Churches are many things to us - they are places of worship, vibrant community hubs and oases of calm reflection. To know a church is to hold a key to the past that unlocks an understanding of our shared history.

    Andrew Ziminski has spent decades as a stonemason and church conservator, acting as an informal guide to curious visitors. Church Going is his handbook to the medieval churches of the British Isles, in which he reveals their fascinating histories, features and furnishings, from flying buttresses to rood screens, lichgates to chancels. Beautifully written and richly illustrated, it is a celebration of British architectural history.
