Our Churches and Chapels: Their Parsons, Priests, & Congregations Being a Critical and Historical Account of Every Place of Worship in Preston

"Our Churches and Chapels: Their Parsons, Priests, & Congregations" by Atticus is a historical review that explores the religious buildings, leaders, and communities within the town of Preston during the late 1800s; the author employs a mix of amusing storytelling and thoughtful analysis to draw readers into the study of religious life and community happenings, pointing out how the examination of churches and chapels in Preston has been overlooked in public discussions and offering observations about the people of the Parish Church, its diverse social groups, and the behavior of its clergy, like Canon Parr. The book highlights a perceived shift in the personalities of modern priests and focuses on a decrease in friendliness compared to those of the past; this all leads into a wider analysis of the town’s changing spiritual and cultural attitudes.
