Synopsis

Notes on the Churches of Cheshire offers a richly detailed survey of Cheshire’s parish churches, blending architectural description with local history.

This edition collects Sir Stephen Glynne’s original notes, updated and edited to reflect late 19th‑century changes, making it a durable reference for readers and researchers alike.

The volume highlights the character of Cheshire’s sacred buildings, from tower design and window tracery to interior screens, fonts, and monuments. It includes on‑the‑ground observations from multiple parishes, noting alterations, restorations, and notable features in churches such as Nantwich, Lymm, Mobberley, and Northenden, among others. The text sits between antiquarian record and practical guide, written in clear, accessible language suitable for general readers as well as students of church architecture and local history.
