Produktbeschreibung
A quiet doorway into a living story. Bell's Cathedrals opens Romsey Abbey to readers as if you stood within its graceful arches, listening to centuries whispering through stone. This short account blends antiquarian topography with a vivid fabric description of the church and the convent of Ss. Mary & Ethelfleda. It is at once a practical visitor guide reference and a regional historical monograph, offering notes on the medieval convent and the history of Romsey in Hampshire, England. Readers meet a concise survey of the fabric, while encounters with history feel intimate and specific-perfect for heritage enthusiasts, for local historians, and for lovers of historical church architecture alike. Rev. Thomas Perkins writes with reverence and clarity, balancing accessible narration with scholarly clarity. The work stands as a note in the long lineage of England's medieval period studies, a concise beacon for those tracing parish church guides or exploring Romsey's storied past. Though out of print for decades, Alpha Editions has restored this gem for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure: a touchstone for anyone who cherishes the quiet drama of sacred spaces and their communities. A deft, enduring companion for visitors and readers who value exacting detail, evocative language, and a lasting sense of place.
