A valuable book which which rescues an important element of our medieval churches from scholarly neglect and greatly adds to our understanding.
ECCLESIOLOGY TODAY
This book on church porches is a welcome addition to the topic of liminal spaces in the Middle
Ages. [...] Readers approaching this book with a pre-existing interest in the English parish church
will greatly profit from Lunnon's multifaceted study of a neglected aspect of these buildings,
which should now become an integral addition to the discussion of the parish church as a spatial, material, and social phenomenon.
- SPECULUM,
[A] thought-provoking study
THE RICARDIAN
[The] first monograph of its kind in over a century, and is likely to become, and remain, the authoritative text on the topic.
HISTORY
[This] is a significant and substantial study with wide implications for English medieval religion
THE JOURNAL OF ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY
As someone who has spent most of the last decade and more visiting and studying East Anglian churches, often in minute detail, I can only state that this work is an inspiration to do just that. It is a rarity when a volume appears that allows you to see a subject that you thought you were largely familiar with, through totally fresh eyes.
- Matthew J. Champion, Norfolk Archaeology
East Anglian Church Porches and their Medieval Context is a very welcome addition to the subject, as church porches were previously under-researched and little understood as an integral part of church design. The documentary research, the analysis and the recording of 119 extant examples are very impressive.
