Why does Stonehenge attract thousands of tourists every year? Why should Glastonbury, Lindisfarne or Walsingham continue to exert a strange power over generations of visitors and pilgrims? Britain's ancient spiritual heritage is a mystery, and yet to be unravelled. This book charts the history of monuments and shrines in the British Isles as well as being a guide to what can be felt as well as seen. Beginning with the silent, brooding megaliths raised up at the dawn of time, the author moves forward through the remote island sanctuaries of the Celtic saints to the lofty naves of the great cathedrals, through centuries of strife and reformation to end at Little Gidding, T.S. Eliot's holy place in the Age of Anxiety. Illustrated with beautiful black and white and colour photographs.
