Why read it?

1 author picked Flint Flushwork as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Stephen Hart spent a lifetime travelling around English churches and was one of the most knowledgeable - and good-natured - individuals I ever had the pleasure to work with.

From Matthew's list on medieval churches.
