Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. This book, the sixth in a series on places of worship in Britain and Ireland, contains 11 essays on a period of relative calm after the radical changes during the previous reformations and civil wars. The dates are set by the Act of Toleration from the new government of William and Mary and the Catholic Emancipation Act of 1829. The period saw a renewed emphasis on auditory worship, preaching, and a new social conscience marked by educational and welfare initiatives and a desire to build churches in every locality. The architecture of the period is marked by simplicity, some geometrical experiments and an eclectic mix of styles for details, mostly classical or vernacular but the first stirrings of the Gothic Revival also appeared here. The essays are by Mark Smith (a general overview), John Harper on worship and music; W. M. Jacobs on Anglican churches 1689-1790; Christopher Webster on Anglican churches 1790-1840; William Roulston on Irish places of worship; Richard Fawcett on Scottish developments; Christopher Wakeling on chapel building in the age of Methodism; Ann-Marie Akehurst on Quaker meeting houses; Roderick O'Donnell on new Catholic places of worship; Sharman Kadish on the Georgian synagogue; and P. S. Barnwell with a detailed concluding essay emphasising that despite denominational diversity the period was united by the ministry of the Word and by a similarity of architectural forms. The book is printed in colour with many handsome photographs and has a comprehensive index (showing that far more subjects are covered than appear in the essay titles), all properly sewn and bound in real cloth.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A fine new copy. The seventh in a series on Places of Worship in Britain and Ireland, which will ultimately extend from prehistoric times to the twenty-first century. The period covered by this volume extends from the final act of Catholic emancipation in 1829 to the failure of the reform of the English Book of Common Prayer and the creation of the modern Church of Scotland a century later. It is one of extraordinary expansion in church and chapel building, driven by unprecedented population growth, changes in the pattern of settlement, and a huge increase in religious plurality partly caused by the arrival of refugees from religious persecution elsewhere in Europe. In many places the number of places of worship was also increased by competitive building, each denomination seeking to make itself visible in an attempt to preserve or enhance its following.The contents are: prelims (i-vi); William Whyte, 'A Church-Building Country: Places of Worship, 1829-1929' (1-16); John Harper, 'The Contexts of Worship and Music, c.1830-1930' (17-29); Geoff Brandwood, 'The Cambridge Camden Society and the Rise and Triumph of Ecclesiology' (30-57); Michael Hall, 'After the Ecclesiologists: Architecture and Liturgy in the Anglican High Church, 1870-c. 1930' (58-83); Niamh NicGhabhann , 'Church Building and Rebuilding in Ireland, 1829-1929' (84-108); Allan Maclean , 'The Church in Scotland 1829-1928: The Impact of Ecclesiology in Scotland' (109-126); Clyde Binfield, 'Meeting-House, Chapel, and Church: Context, Theory, and Practice.
