REVIEW BY ADAM KLUPS
Luke Sherlock’s Forgotten Churches is a visually rich and thoughtfully curated tribute to England’s sacred spaces. As a long-time follower of Sherlock’s Instagram account @englishpilgrim, I was intrigued to discover the familiar aesthetic now transformed into print – proof of how social media and traditional publishing can meaningfully complement each other. With exquisite illustrations by Ioana Pioaru, the book is as much a visual journey as it is a reflective one. Sherlock’s selection of churches is highly personal, offering readers an invitation to explore the buildings of his choosing with awe and curiosity. While practical limitations necessitate a curated approach, each featured church is presented with antiquarian sensitivity. This volume is a gift to church crawlers, modern pilgrims, and anyone drawn to England’s ecclesiastical heritage. Forgotten Churches stands as a compelling extension of Sherlock’s online presence, inspiring renewed appreciation for churches, their treasures, and the stories they tell.
