"Stained Glass Tours in England" by Charles Hitchcock Sherrill is a travelogue and architectural guide that was likely written in the early 20th century. The book takes readers on a journey through England's rich heritage of stained glass, exploring not only magnificent cathedrals but also smaller religious buildings and secular structures across the country. It aims to provide insights into English architecture and history through the lens of its stained glass artistry. The opening of the guide sets the tone for a detailed exploration of stained glass windows and their contexts in varied architectural settings. It outlines the author's mission to discuss stained glass as both a decorative art and a historical narrative, enriching the appreciation for these colorful artworks by connecting them to significant locations and historical events in England. Sherrill emphasizes the survival of these windows over centuries of destruction, promising readers an educational and aesthetically pleasing pilgrimage through England's architectural gems, from York to Canterbury, while underscoring the significance of each site visited.
