    Wren, Pearce, and St Mary's: Ingestre Parish Church and its roofs

    Bob Meeson

    Transactions Volume XLIII (2009)

    Unlike most of Christopher Wren's City churches, Ingestre parish church has largely escaped the deprivations of demolition, structural adaptation at the hands of later architects, and war damage.
