Originally published during the early part of the twentieth century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on accessibility. The Historical Growth of the English Parish Church by A. Hamilton Thompson was first published in 1911, and reissued as this second edition in 1913. The volume presents an account of the key features of parish churches and the historical conditions amid which they were built.
