About the book

In «Old Crosses and Lychgates,» Aymer Vallance invites readers to explore the poignant intersection of memory and mortality as he meticulously records the architectural elements of churchyards across England. Written in a style that balances rich descriptive imagery with a scholarly approach, Vallance'Äôs work serves as both a tribute and an investigation into the social and historical dimensions of these often-overlooked aspects of ecclesiastical architecture. The book falls within the broader context of early 20th-century interests in antiquarian studies, effectively capturing the gothic revival and Victorian fascination with the past through the lens of religious memorialization. Aymer Vallance, a noted writer and journalist, draws on his extensive knowledge of medieval architecture and his enduring love for England'Äôs rural landscapes. His experiences as an antiquarian deeply inform the narrative, which examines not only the physical structures but also the stories and cultural significance they embody. Vallance's passion for the subject is palpable, allowing readers to sense the delicate threads between architecture, history, and personal reflection. This book is essential for anyone fascinated by the intricate relationship between architecture and cultural identity. Vallance's engaging narration and profound insights invite readers to appreciate not just the aesthetic, but the historical narratives that old crosses and lychgates signify, making it a valuable addition to both academic and personal libraries.
