Excerpt from The Story of Stratton Church
When Canon Bone died on December 31, 1917, he left the ms. Of this book in the hands of his brother, Mr. Edward W. Bone. For nineteen years Canon Bone was Vicar of Stratton, and this account Of his former church was the diversion of his closing years so that he Speaks both from intimacy and from reflection. In the preparation of the book I had been of some assistance to him, and was responsible for some of the theories advanced, such as the setting-out of the Norman church and I was accordingly asked by Mr. E. W. Bone to supervise the publication. I have left the narrative as far as possible to speak for itself, correcting only some obvious mistakes and making a few compressions to avoid repetition. In a few instances I have added a note where elucidation seemed desirable or a difference Of Opinion might exist.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich history of a church in the West Country, weaving together architectural analysis, social history, and local lore. The author meticulously traces the church's evolution from its Norman origins through centuries of expansion and adornment, painting a vivid picture of a community deeply invested in their place of worship. Set against the backdrop of medieval England and the changing tides of religious practice, the narrative explores the lives and legacies of prominent families like the Blanchminsters, whose influence shaped the church's physical structure and spiritual life. The author's examination of church records, contracts, and architectural details offers insights into the economic, social, and devotional practices of the era. Themes of community, faith, and artistic expression are interwoven with explorations of power dynamics between the church, local lords, and the broader political landscape. The book invites readers to consider how a seemingly ordinary parish church can serve as a microcosm of historical forces and enduring human values. Ultimately, it illuminates the profound ways in which a place of worship can embody the aspirations, struggles, and creative spirit of generations past.
