Summary: "Six Remarkable churches built by Nicholas Hawksmoor from 1712 to 1731 still tower over London. Their striking limestone steeples and luminous interiors were designed by him for a parliamentary commission intent on affirming. the Majesty of the Anglican Church. In Hawksmoor's London Churches, the architectural historian Pierre de la Fuffiniere du Prey argues that though each church is unique, they can be viewed as an integrated whole - a. single masterpiece that reflects the architect's design principles and his client's wish to return to the purity of early Christian times." - From the Jacket
