Egleton Bird Watching Centre. LE15 8BT
The Revd. Dr. Nicholas Henderson
Two lectures 10.30 -11.40 and 12.00 -13.10
How to Read the English Country Church
It is possible to ‘read’ the passage of time, movements, cultures and peoples in the
architecture and art forms evident in many of our English country churches.
These lectures take us through four overarching eras from the pre-Christian era, through
the arrival of the Romans, the Anglo-Saxons, the Normans and onwards to the sixteenth
century and the epoch changing Tudors. Beyond the Tudors we move into the establishment
of a new Protestant England.
Later the profoundly destructive changes of the seventeenth century Commonwealth era
are followed by restoration and liturgical change.
