Shrines of the Saints in England and Wales by Michael Tavinor



This book provides a gazetteer of the principal shrines, and the historical facts of their origin, reformation destruction, and recent renaissance.

I found it unfortunate that the “experience” of the shrines was restricted to a 6 page postscript. The book addressed the “what” but despite its billing, for me, failed to address more interesting question of “why”.
