David
Annett's book The Churches of Bromyard Rural Deanery comprises some 64
pages and nearly 100 illustrations almost all in colour. The
churches are arranged in alphabetical order of parishes, and a clear
map of the deanery showing the exact location of all of the churches is
reproduced on the inside front and back covers. Howard Painters
colour images of the various churches are a joy to behold.
It is David Annett's
aim to give a personal and subjective response to each of the
churches in the area in the hope that this may stimulate others to
visit them and form their own views.
With the aid of this
most excellent guide, the reader is encouraged to think back to what the
church was like in past centuries and to understand how the changes in the
structure and the furnishings of the church reflect the changes in the
religious practices, in social life and artistic taste.
