A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Tarquin Blake, in this new volume on Ireland's architectural heritage, documents over eighty Church of Ireland churches, preserving a record of fragile religious ruins. Their history, dating back to early Christianity in Ireland, traces the rise and fall of the Protestant aristocracy. As Protestant congregations declined in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries an attempt was made to keep churches open by uniting parishes. Eventually, the lack of a congregation forced the closure of many churches. Valuables were removed, churches deconsecrated and abandoned. Blake's haunting images of crumbling ruins and history of the churches tell a fascinating story of troubled times.
