101 Country Churches of South Africa (Signed by both authors)

For Philippe Menache, the idea of exploring country towns and, in particular, their churches arose from a need to escape the city. This concept germinated some forty years ago. Many of the churches in country towns are placed in central, focal positions, and this serves to emphasise their prominence think of those churches situated in market squares or traffic circles, or where they form a terminal vista at the end of a cross-street. The contents of the book do not reflect a religious perspective, but focuses rather on the aesthetics and architectural merits of the church buildings. Truth be known, South Africa has been left with a legacy of remarkable church architecture, where many of the architects, usually from Europe, left their mark.
