A fascinating book with small articles on the eccentric objects, architecture and beliefs associated with English Churches and Cathedrals.

I've previously read a couple of books similar to this, and like those, this is the type of account one reads with a morbid fascination.

This tome focuses mainly on punishments that occurred in England's history, from the bizarre to the brutal.

This is one of the first books I ever bought at Steve Burak's bookshop on Leigh Street near the Britishn Library, probably in late 2002. He had a sale on. All the sale books were piled up under the table on the floor.
