{"product_id":"kneelers-elizabeth-bingham-9781784743963","title":"Kneelers","description":"Kneelers is a celebration of the most widely practised - but often overlooked - folk art in England and Wales in the last 90 years: the design and craft of church kneelers. Featuring charming stories and enchanting designs from churches across the country, the book traces the history of kneelers; from their spectacular beginnings at Winchester in the 1930s to their booming popularity after the Queen's coronation, to the present-day congregations who are keeping the tradition alive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In their range and diversity, the kneelers collected here form a fascinating social record of the concerns and interests that occupied their makers over the last century - including local fauna and flora, cricket, dragons, post-war commemoration and the thrills of high-speed travel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Filled to the brim with beautiful full-colour images, Kneelers displays the quirky artistry and widely varied (and often surprising) motifs which have characterised church kneelers in the last century. It rejoices in the personal stories of some of the people who have practised and advanced the art form, and is a wonderful commemoration of what happens when communities come together to celebrate their history and their environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Bingham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784743968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784743963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chatto \u0026amp; Windus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.37h x 8.98w x 0.76d","brand":"Elizabeth Bingham","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44079264366847,"sku":"9781784743963","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ceaf9ca8-8b47-4c6b-8b05-ae885db85784.jpg?v=1685480134","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kneelers-elizabeth-bingham-9781784743963","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
