Building Late Churches in North Hampshire (British Archaeological Reports British Series) J. R. L. Allen

Focusing on the period from the mid-eighteenth century to the First World War, this volume covers a major boom in church building, fuelled by population growth and heightened religiosity as well as socio-economic change, with 115 built or substantially modified in the north Hampshire area under study. Allen takes a geological angle in examining these churches, tracing the distribution and use of different materials through the county, as well as imported materials.
