Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. A new copy. This book is the eighth in a series on Places of Worship in Britain and Ireland, extending from prehistoric times to the twenty-first century. The mysterious prehistoric and Roman periods are covered, stretching through several thousand years but suggesting remarkable continuity, not only in the use of the same places for extraordinarily long periods but also continuity between the Iron Age and the Roman and between the Roman and early Christianity. The phenomena of religious pilgrimage and communal feasting are observed throughout the prehistoric and Roman periods. 288pp.
