"This book is a guide to the parish churches of the old historic county of Yorkshire. The incredible wealth of church architecture in the county is introduced to the reader with an invitation to observe the buildings in their landscape, examine their diverse styles of architecture, consider the materials used in their construction and take a tour of the frequently beautiful interior fittings. A useful guide to the history of many of these features, often peculiar to the English parish church, is included." "The second part of the book is a gazetteer of about six hundred selected churches, each with a brief description of features to look for and a map reference to locate it." "Yorkshire Churches will appeal to the beginner, becoming interested, perhaps for the first time, in church-browsing and also to the more experienced, who will find this book a useful hand guide to a county which has a diverse and rich heritage of parish churches."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Yorkshire summons up a distinct mental image in the minds of outsiders - whether of wind-lashed moorland, smoking chimneys or tough, blunt people. This illustrated survey of the changing rural landscapes of the region shows how the quality of 'Yorkshireness' varies greatly between one area and another. Moving chronologically from the Mesolithic period through to the post-medieval era of enclosure and industrialization, it allows the reader to mentally reconstruct the successive landscapes as they appeared and evolved through generations. The key elements - settlement patterns, strongholds, church and vernacular architecture, field systems and communications - are all considered in this fascinating history of one of England's best-known regions.

South Yorkshire has some of the most varied countryside in England, ranging from the Pennine moors and the wooded hills and valleys in the west to the estate villages on the magnesian limestone escarpment and the lowlands in the east. Each of these different landscapes has been shaped by human activities over the centuries. This book tells the story of how the present landscape was created. It looks at buildings, fields, woods and moorland, navigable rivers and industrial remains, and the intriguing place-names that are associated with them.
