A Handbook of English Ecclesiology, published in 1847 by the Ecclesiological Society, is a comprehensive guide to the architecture, decoration, and symbolism of English churches. The book provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of various elements of church design, including the layout, windows, altars, fonts, and pews. It also explores the history and significance of different styles of church architecture, such as Gothic and Romanesque.

As such, the book emphasizes the importance of beauty and symbolism in church design, and encourages readers to appreciate the spiritual significance of the physical spaces in which they worship.
