Bedfordshire Churches in the Nineteenth Century Part II

Edited by Chris Pickford, Isobel Thompson, John S. Thompson and Patricia Bell

  • Description
  • Author
This is the last in a series of four volumes describing Bedfordshire's parish churches in detail.

This is the last in a series of four volumes describing Bedfordshire's parish churches in detail. The aim is to present a detailed account of each church together with text from five important nineteenth century sources. It is based on specially commissioned research, bringing together original official sources and contemporary accounts. Many churches are illustrated, often with unusual drawings, watercolours, lantern slides, etc.
This final volume comprises a description of the newer, twentieth century churches in the county; a summary of the main stages of restoration for each of the older churches; addenda and corrigenda to parts 1-3; and an analytical index to the whole series.

Chris Pickford studied history at Leicester and qualified as an archivist at University College London. He joined the staff of Bedfordshire County Record Office in 1977, becoming County Archivist in 1986. He left in 1998 to become Director of the Church of England Record Centre (CERC) in London. While at BCRO he took an active part in BHRS. He is an acknowledged expert on clocks and bells. Among a wide range of historical interests, architectural history and the study of buildings rank highest. Since leaving CERC in 2001 he has worked freelance. His revised edition of the Pevsner Buildings of England volume on Warwickshire, his native county, was published in 2016.
