The Bishops Churches – The Churches of Anglican Bishop Robert Gray
Author: Desmond Martin
Having such a passionate interest in Genealogy and church records, I was delighted and overwhelmed when my husband bought “The Bishop’s Churches” for my birthday. I found that Desmond’s vibrant and delicate brush strokes have brought a true sense to the meaning of tranquillity and belief to the living monuments of Bishop Grey and his wife Sophy.
This beautifully illustrated collection of water colours and line-art drawings of Anglican Churches gives not only a history of each church portrayed, but also reflects the outstanding Victorian Gothic Architecture as well as distinctive Norman ornamentation.
Desmond’s representation of these houses of divinity pays tribute to the craftsmanship of the skilled tradesmen at the time who have enriched the architectural heritage of South Africa.
This beautifully illustrated book brings to life the legacy which Bishop Robert Grey and Sophy have left behind. This publication is a definite must for any family historian who has ties with the Anglican Church.
