Chain Stores is here! It's Publication Day - and my first copies arrived in the morning post! Here's a glimpse inside the covers. Over the next couple of weeks I'll post some of the material that I couldn't fit into the book, including extra pictures.

St Peter's Lainston, where the courtesan Elizabeth Chudleigh married Augustus Hervey, later Earl of Bristol. She married again, unfortunately while the Earl was still alive and was found guilty of bigamy by a jury of her peers. @crsbi report online crsbi.ac.uk/view-item?i=1371…

This font was surplus to requirements when St Mary's Watford was restored in 1871, and was given to St James's Watford Fields. When that was closed in 1972 they gave it back @crsbi site report at crsbi.ac.uk/view-item?i=1096…

This is #Llanyblodwel in #Shropshire, designed by the Vicar in 1847. Perhaps he envisaged a rocket to heaven, but claimed that it was based on Freiburg Minster. Its font is the subject of some disagreement #FontsonFriday @crsbi report online at crsbi.ac.uk/view-item?i=3426
