This little volume introduces readers to a collection of cats who've made their homes in England's ecclesiastical sites and communities?from ancient ruins, like Fountains Abbey and Tintern, to active religious communities, like Prinknash Abbey and Iona. With captivating color photographs, quirky accounts of the cats' lives in and around the grounds, buildings, and gardens, and a "Quick Guide" to all the sites, this is just the book for cat lovers and visitors to England.
This book investigates the unique intersection of feline inhabitants and historic ecclesiastical architecture across England. Richard Surman utilizes his background in photography and travel writing to document the presence of cats within both ruined abbeys and active religious communities. The work presents a series of observational accounts that link the quiet, contemplative nature of these sites with the independent spirit of the cats that reside there.
