For Arts & Crafts architects such as CR Ashbee, Harrison Townsend and Charles Rennie Mackintosh, churches were no longer as central as they had been for their Victorian predecessors. Those they did build, however, are extraordinary. This first survey of them includes an illustrated gazetteer of some 220 examples across the UK, explores their stylistic inspirations – Byzantine, medieval, Quaker – and their response to the increasingly secular society of the early 20th century.
