Author Talk: Aidan McRae Thomson - Churches in Warwickshire

The county of Warwickshire has a rich and varied past that is reflected in its historic churches. In Churches of Warwickshire, author and stained-glass artist Aidan McRae Thomson explores a selection of the most interesting churches across the whole of the county. Coventry has been included as it was part of the historic county. The buildings featured range from churches in the county town of Warwick and major settlements such as Nuneaton, Rugby and Leamington Spa, to market towns, not least Stratford-upon-Avon and villages, representing the many different architectural eras and styles to be found in Warwickshire’s churches.

The book covers a cross section of churches throughout the county, both well-known and those waiting to be discovered by a wider audience. This fascinating picture of an important part of the history of Warwickshire over the centuries will be of interest to all those who live in or are visiting this attractive county in England.

Books can be purchased before and after the talk. There will be a book signing session at the end
