'I think I may already have discovered the best non fiction book of 2023'
'A glorious and delightful salute to some of the UK's most neglected folk art and its makers'
'For anyone who has been grateful for a kneeler, and found solace in them during a challenging sermon, this book is a Godsend!'
'A treasure of a collection'
Gives praise at last to an overlooked form of British folk art
Elizabeth Bingham is a leading authority on Anglican church kneelers. Some thirty years ago, aware that the folk art of designing and making kneelers was endangered, she set up the Parish Kneelers website, parishkneelers.co.uk. It has grown into a rich and vivid record of the social history of the second part of the twentieth century.
