Modern Britain

How to use the index

In this collection of photographs, text, and audio files, the English counties are grouped first into regions, and then are listed alphabetically.

The aim is to provide a tour which progressively leads across the country in an easily-followed trail.

The regions start with the capital and radiate outwards, as shown on the map below. Each section can be found in the main index in the same order as they are shown here. The other parts of the British Isles and Ireland follow on from this in alphabetical order.

The borders and county boundaries used are those as set in 2006, and which are reproduced in the Philip's Compact Atlas of Britain (3.3 miles to one inch), London 2006.

To go to the index for a region, click anywhere within its borders.

Tour or list?

In the main index, you have the choice of taking a tour of all places of worship for each particular county, or viewing a list of all individual places of worship in a sub-index.

To take the tour, which will lead you through the churches one by one as if you were travelling around them yourself, click on the image or title (as shown below).

To see the full list of churches and other places of worship, click on the full list link (as shown below).
