By George Bidlake

Book Overview

Sketches of Churches: Designed for the Use of Nonconformity is a book written by George Bidlake in 1865. The book is a collection of sketches of various churches that were designed for use by nonconformists. Nonconformity refers to those who do not conform to the established church, which in this case would be the Church of England. The book includes detailed descriptions and sketches of various churches, along with notes on their history and architecture. Bidlake provides insights into the design and construction of these churches, as well as the religious and social context in which they were built. The sketches cover a wide range of styles, from Gothic to Romanesque, and from simple chapels to grand cathedrals. Each sketch is accompanied by detailed notes on the design and features of the church, as well as its significance to the nonconformist community. Overall, Sketches of Churches: Designed for the Use of Nonconformity is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and architecture of nonconformist churches in England. It provides a unique perspective on the role of these churches in the religious and social life of the country, and sheds light on the creativity and ingenuity of nonconformist architects and builders.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
