The book explores the art of wood carving in English churches, focusing specifically on stalls, tabernacle work, bishops' thrones, and chancel chairs from the medieval period to the Renaissance. It aims to highlight the significance and beauty of these often-overlooked examples of ecclesiastical craftsmanship, offering insights into their design, construction, and historical context. At the start of the book, the author provides a preamble stressing the value of stallwork in English churches, noting its rarity compared to similar works in other countries, many of which have been lost to neglect or destruction. Bond describes the architectural and artistic features of stalls used by monks and canons during services, detailing their intricate design elements such as canopies, supports, and ornamentation. He aims not only to inform readers about the significance of these wood carvings but also to inspire pride in England's rich artistic heritage.
