Steeple Chasing: Around Britain by Church by Peter Ross

adventurous challenging hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

As always with Peter Ross' books (if you haven't read A Tomb with a View you're missing out) you get far more than the obvious. So while yes, this is a wonderful wander around the ecclesiastical buildings of Britain, it is also a book about history, science, nature and, when you get right down to the underlying theme, what it means to be a human in this world. 
I listened to this via audible, excellently narrated by Peter himself, and I loved every second. In fact this is one of those books that I found so interesting that I intend to get a paperback copy the moment I find one in a bookshop, so that I can re-read with highlighters and pencil at the ready.
