1066 Churches : Medieval Norman Churches in Watercolour

1066 Churches is a vibrant celebration of Anglo-Norman Christian heritage and an invitation to discover the borders of the English Channel while stepping into the past. Each page bursts with luminous watercolours capturing the Romanesque and Gothic styles of these Medieval sanctuaries.

In the rolling hills along the shores of the English Channel, where William the Conqueror once forged an empire, Denis Dunstone returns with a breathtaking 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. Conceived as the perfect companion for two landmark events, namely, the triumphant return of the Bayeux Tapestry to English soil for the British Museum's major 2026 exhibition, and the 2027 European celebrations marking the millennium of the birth of King William I, Denis Dunstone's richly illustrated and documented work beckons you to wander, sketchpad in hand, and step into the past.
