A Treatise On Chancel Screens and Rood Lofts by Augustus Welby Pugin

Published in 1851 this was Pugin's last book, it is his answer to those critics who questioned the need, and indeed the rationale for rood screens in the new Catholic Churches of the nineteenth century. Largely ignored at the time of publication, it has never been reprinted. This new facsimile edition includes an introduction by the leading Pugin scholar Dr Roderick O'Donnell.
