They range from bulky Saxon and Norman round tower churches through to a Restoration church influenced by Christopher Wren's London works. Many of these places of worship suffered the iconoclastic ravages of Puritan zealots, such as William Dowsing, who carried out a series of destructive trips across Suffolk and Cambridgeshire in the 1640s, smashing and obliterating what were seen as 'superstitious images'. The results of these raids are visible in churches across the county, although some have miraculously survived relatively unscathed while others have been the object of Victorian restoration programmes, some sensitive, others eccentric.     David Stanford's atmospheric photography captures the spirit of these unique buildings as architectural heritage, as historic monuments and as places of Christian devotion.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49524669645073,"sku":"GOR003905923","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49560334532881,"sku":"GOR011106812","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53382778716433,"sku":"GOR008958223","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/071122496X.jpg?v=1751360242"},{"product_id":"norfolk-churches-book-david-stanford-9780711227422","title":"Norfolk Churches","description":"Photographer and church-spotter David Stanford, author of Suffolk Churches and Essex Churches, now turns his attention to Norfolk, presenting 50 more churches from the county, chosen for their beauty or historical or anecdotal interest, in a series of captivating photographic portraits.

Built for King Suryavarman II in the early twelfth-century, it has remained in constant use since its foundation - first as a Hindu temple, then as a Buddhist temple. This is the masterpiece of Khmer architecture. Its galleries, enclosures, cloisters and pavilions, its extraordinary carved faces looking out across encroaching jungle and its proliferation of carvings, bas reliefs and inscriptions, have made it the quintessential icon of Cambodia - it appears on the country's flag - and a tourist destination for more than half a million foreign visitors each year. Photographer David Stanford, better known for his portraits of East Anglian country churches, has turned his lens to this vast complex and presents its story alongside his evocative photographs.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50978547073297,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50978547499281,"sku":"GOR008789148","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0711230447.jpg?v=1751457233"},{"product_id":"that-s-not-odd-that-s-god-book-david-stanford-9781490814230","title":"That's Not Odd ...
