"The Historical Growth of the English Parish Church" by Alexander Hamilton Thompson is a historical exploration of English parish churches and their development. The book journeys through time, starting from ancient Roman-British ruins and moving through the Saxon and Norman eras, to consider the construction of churches. It looks at the problems church builders faced when invaders came and society went through changes.
