$25.00
"Hallowed Ground examines the surprising traditions, customs, superstitions, and secular imagery found in churches and churchyards, with a particular emphasis on the UK’s traditional rural Protestant churches. Beginning with stories associated with the construction of church buildings themselves and the role that they played in the community, the book moves through a number of subjects where everything might not be as it would seem. Whether it be the famed Rosslyn Chapel or Chicago’s St. Michael’s Church, this book is a fascinating guide to the folklore and mythology of churchyards.
