Heart of the Headland

By Elisabeth Westhead

Elisabeth explains the place of St Hilda's church in the history of Christianity in our region in a way that really helps us imagine the very different lives that people who were otherwise like us lived. This history includes the relationship of this church to the Christian leader we call St Hilda, who lived, worked and cared for people in this place, centuries before the church that bears her name came to be built.

The Venerable Rick Simpson, Archdeacon of Auckland.

Your discussion of the architecture is detailed and compelling. I imagine readers walking round with your book to inspect the features you mention.
