1066 Churches (2026)

In the rolling hills along the shores of the English Channel, where William the Conqueror once forged an empire, Denis Dunstone returns with a sequel to A Church Near You.

1066 Churches invites you to discover the Medieval Romanesque churches that dot Normandy and England, stone testaments to the faith and ambition of a Christian king and its people.

Each page bursts with luminous watercolours, capturing the Romanesque and Gothic styles making these sanctuaries stand across centuries.

A Church Near You 
(2023)

In spring 2020 the author, Denis Dunstone, crept out to visit churchyards and sketch in colour 50 churches that were within half an hour's drive from his home near Saffron Walden in Essex.

The result appeared in a little book which was presented to local churches for sale. The author added further volumes county by county and reached 19. They ranged from Yorkshire to Somerset and Hereford to Kent.

This expanded book is a comprehensive volume of all 19 volumes.

PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR'S WORK

This is a really lovely book. Living in Lincolnshire I was familiar with quite a few of the churches, and look forward to visiting more.

A wonderful book, brilliant drawings along with fascinating text. A real eye opener.
