Cathedral Treasures of England and Wales
Simon Heffer in the Telegraph “Cathedrals aren’t just buildings - they are treasure houses. So why are they overlooked as museums?”

“An absolutely delightful book, a perfect size to have in the car when visiting the cathedrals which of course are one of the great glories of England.”
“This little book is a terrific account of what is actually interesting about England's cathedrals reflecting the modern taste for concise text that takes the reader straight to the most illuminating points and covering all the cathedrals (in England).”
“Janet’s knowledge and passion shine through the pages of this small but perfectly formed paperback. The book is a slim 96 pages, so it is portable and won’t take up valuable space on your bookshelves. The high production values of the book make it ideal for a coffee table, or even a breakfast bar and it serves as a thorough introduction to the glories of England’s 44 cathedrals.”
After sales of over 5,000 copies, Cathedrals of the Church of England has been completely updated with input for each cathedral and new entries on Westminster Abbey and St German Cathedral of the Isle of Man. Published 2020.
