This is a rare copy of one of the great stories of the 'Catholic Revival'. Lord Shrewsbury, as premier Earl of England (and indeed of Ireland) made Alton Towers the brilliant centre of Catholic social and religious life. His generosity in building and adorning the new churches which were then arising throughout England has become a legend. This book, dealing with his activities in collaboration with A W N Pugin and Ambrose Phillips, describes the Catholic revival from a new angle and makes a valuable contribution to the social history of the nineteenth century.
