Anglican Church-Building in London, 1946-2012

摘要

This book is a sequel to a volume covering 1915-1945 and, the author claims, 'is in a similar format' (p.5). Strictly, the format is different - rectangular portrait rather than square - and it is the arrangement - brief introduction followed by lengthy gazetteer - that is the same. The Introduction explains that the area chosen for study is Greater London, 'not only because it is clearly defined and widely understood, but also [because] it corresponds generally to the built-up metropolitan area'; and for reasons of space, consideration is limited to Anglican churches (p.5). The latter restriction is unexceptionable, although it does lead to omission of some significant brick (and other) buildings, such as the Danish Seamen's Church, Stepney (1959, Holger Jensen with Armstrong & McManus; Lutheran, now London City Mission) or Most Holy Trinity, Bermondsey (1960, H.S. Goodhart-Rendel; Roman Catholic).
