The Society of the Faith was founded in 1905 to promote a catholic (and ecumenical) understanding of the Church of England. In 1916, the Society created Faith Craft, a subsidiary company dedicated to the best design in every area of church furnishing. Beautifully illustrated, this book provides the first scholarly examination of Faith Craft – its work, and also its place in the life of the Church of England through much of the 20th century.

Dr Elain Harwood, Dr James Bettley, Judge Michael Yelton

Dr Elain Harwood is an architectural historian with English Heritage and Historic England. She sets the scene with an overview of 20th century church design. Dr James Bettley, another architectural historian, examines the career of Laurence King, both architect and designer, and one of Faith Craft’s most important executants. Judge Michael Yelton traces the history of Faith Craft as a company, and shows how it helped present a respectable face of Anglo-Catholicism to a sometimes suspicious Establishment. Father Stephen Keeble details the extensive work of Faith Craft in his own church in North London, where we see fine examples of ‘All Manner of Workmanship’ – to quote Faith Craft’s original banner.
