Following five years of detailed and original research, this resource presents the first systematic survey of the 50 most important medieval parish church towers and spires in England, covering a period of some 500 years. The introduction provides an overview of the technological and aesthetic development of towers and spires, and examines the evolution of their major architectural elements. The process of medieval steeple construction is also explored.
