This is the extraordinary history of a familiar but much-misunderstood institution. The Church has frequently been divided between high and low, Evangelical and Anglo-Catholic. For its first 150 years people sacrificed their lives to defend it; the Anglican Church is and has always been defined by its complicated relationship to the state and power. The story of the Church – central to British life – has never been straightforward. Weaving social, political and religious context together with the significance of its music and architecture, A People’s Church skilfully illuminates a complex and pre-eminent institution.
