| Summary: | "Across Europe, the parish church has stood for centuries at the centre of local communities; it was the focal point of its religious life, the rituals performed there marked the stages of life from the cradle to the grave. In spite of the importance of the parish church, these buildings have generally not received the same attention from historians as non-parochial places of worship.
