About the Author

A lecturer for many years at Crewe and Alsager College of Higher Education, now part of the Metropolitan University of Manchester, the author has had articles of educational theory and practice featured in major educational journals and written three books on aspects of teacher education. Now retired and living in the Midlands, he has been able to indulge his lifelong interest in medieval church buildings. This has resulted in the publication of several works including Cheshire Churches and The Monastic Gatehouse. The present book is the outcome of much of his wider researches.
