1st edition. "In 1881, after decades of mouldering into ruin, the grand fifteenth-century church of Blythburgh, Suffolk, "The Cathedral of the Marshes", was closed as unsafe. The church was saved - but its rescue involvd a bitter twenty-five year long dispute between Blythburh vicars and committees, and William Morris and his Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, who feared that the medieval fabric would be over-restored and the character of the building lost forever." Pp.lx/313, frontispiece + 8 colour plates and 14 further black & white plates plus a map of Suffolk. Green boards, dustwrapper. VG/VG.
