Desmond Mortlock is a Fellow of the Library Association and served

of Leicester from 1985 to 2011. He is also the author of The Guide

Charles Roberts was the literary editor and drama critic of the
Eastern Daily Press. After working for some years in the Middle
East, he went to live in France. He died in 2012.
"I was pleasantly surprised that it was not only easily readable
but was quite comprehensive in detail of the buildings, both the
exterior and the interior building feature and also the
furnishings. It's good to find that the authors have sought to find
the uniqueness of each building however small, rather than just
identifying their architectural style and then dwelling in detail
only on the grand."

"I fell on this book with delight, and it became my companion for
weeks as I worked my way through it. I am very pleased with the new
Mortlock edition, it is essential reading, and a good companion. I
have added it enthusiastically to my travelling armoury."
Simon Knott, www.norfolkchurches.co.uk
"This guide sets out to be far more accessible, and succeeds
admirably. Entries are warm, well written with nice concision, and
are arranged so that they emphasize what makes a church
special."
