Chain Stores is here!

It's Publication Day - and my first copies arrived in the morning post! Here's a glimpse of the chapter on shoe shops.

Over the next weeks I'll post some of the material that I couldn't fit into the book, including extra pictures.

Thanks @livunipress.bsky.social.

Volute capitals on the chancel arch at #Petersfield. The one on the left dates from the 1120s, the other was added by Blomfield in his 1873-74 restoration (along with the entire inner order of the arch).
