By the late middle ages English constructional and decorative woodworking had attained a level of skill and sophistication unrivalled in Europe. East Anglias churches are home to one of the most spectacular and distinctive products of this medieval expertise: the angel roof. Built mainly between 1400 and 1530; and overwhelmingly an East Anglian phenomenon; angel roofs were an expression of religious belief; wealth; status and regional skill.Using specialist lenses and techniques to capture distant and inaccessible detail; Michael Rimmers photographs reveal the unseen beauty of East Anglias angel roofs and the vision of the medieval craftsmen who made them; while his engaging and knowledgeable text brings to life the personalities; economics and power structures of 15th Century East Anglia.
