"20 Sussex Churches" provides a concise and accessible introduction to the parish churches of Sussex reflecting the region's rich cultural history. Simon Watney has selected 20 buildings which represent the country's changing fortunes from Anglo-Saxon times to the 20th century. Ranging from grand urban buildings to remote and often humble country churches, as much attention is paid to the remarkable monuments and furnishings they contain, including murals and stained glass, as to their architecture. The question of why churches matter in the modern world, and the many kinds of pleasure they can provide to Christians and non-Christians alike, is also explored.

This refreshing guide offers Bloomsbury fans a unique insight into the lives of the most innovative and important group of pioneering Modernist artists, writers and designers of the 20th century. Their London homes were destroyed by war-time bombs, but Virginia and Leonard Woolf's house, Monks House, in Rodmell and Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant's domestic idyll at Charleston provide a lasting and unique picture of the Bloomsbury Group in the early decades of the last century. The Sussex homes where they lived and worked for more than 50 years stand as a testament to the spirit of their remarkably creative muse. Bloomsbury expert Simon Watney examines the enduring importance of these Sussex bohemians through their furnishings, decorations and gardens at Charleston and Monks House and the fascinating murals of nearby Berwick church
