Steeple Chasing by Peter Ross

Steeple Chasing is a book about "church crawling" which John Betjeman said, "leads you to the remotest and quietest corners...[and] introduces you to the history of England in stone, wood and glass". Reading this book tells you that Peter Ross feels this very strongly. It's not a book describing a single journey, instead Ross makes trips the length and breadth of the UK, visiting churches and holy sites. Its a great book that celebrates churches for their beauty and meaning, and for the tales they tell nw.
