Largely rural, their wealth in the Middle Ages came mostly through farming and the wool trade, as well as the largest settlement in the area - Leicester. Later industrialization also shaped Leicestershire, as Leicester and Loughborough also became known for manufacturing and coal mining, although adjoining Rutland, much smaller, developed less.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChurches of Leicestershire and Rutland travels through a selection of the most interesting churches in these counties, from those with Norman and sometimes Saxon and Roman fragments, through to those of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries when burgeoning populations in the towns needed new places to worship in many denominations. Examples include Leicester Cathedral's acquisition of a long-lost English king, the rescue of Normanton Church from Rutland Water, and many more. This fascinating picture of an important part of the history of Leicestershire and Rutland over the centuries will be of interest to all those who live in or are visiting these attractive counties in England.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lorna Talbott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 139812527X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781398125278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amberley Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Lorna Talbott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49084084650239,"sku":"9781398125278","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/churches-of-leicestershire-and-rutland-lorna-talbott-9781398125278","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
