Ecclesiastical Curiosities di William Andrews

A fascinating book with small articles on the eccentric objects, architecture and beliefs associated with English Churches and Cathedrals.

Bygone Punishments di William Andrews

I've previously read a couple of books similar to this, and like those, this is the type of account one reads with a morbid fascination.

This tome focuses mainly on punishments that occurred in England's history, from the bizarre to the brutal.

History of the Dunmow flitch of bacon custom di William Andrews

This is one of the first books I ever bought at Steve Burak's bookshop on Leigh Street near the Britishn Library, probably in late 2002. He had a sale on. All the sale books were piled up under the table on the floor.
