A quiet hour, a grand building, and a story that binds them. The Cathedral Church Of Oxford invites both the curious traveller and the patient reader to see Oxford through the careful eye of Percy Dearmer.This new Alpha Editions edition offers a compelling blend of ecclesiastical history and architectural description, presenting the fabric and the splendour of the cathedral as a vivid historical guidebook. Dearmer’s concise surveys illuminate the episcopal see history, while patinaed details of construction, ornament, and space kindle a scholarly church history that remains accessible to today’s audience. It is at once a practical traveller pocket guide and a richly designed cultural artefact, perfect for architecture enthusiast readers and lovers of Victorian and early twentieth century England alike.The work carries literary and historical significance as a window into how a great medieval city and its sacred spaces were understood and valued when the cathedral stood at the heart of public life. For casual readers new to Oxford and for classic-literature collectors seeking a refined, well-preserved edition, this volume offers depth, clarity, and reverence in equal measure. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure.
