Description

This thought-provoking exploration delves into the hidden layers of post-medieval architecture, unraveling the significance of concealed objects found within ancient structures. Ceri Houlbrook and Owen Davies challenge conventional narratives, inviting readers to reconsider the rituals and beliefs that once thrived in everyday spaces.

Through meticulous research and engaging prose, the authors illuminate the deep connections between the physical environment and the magical practices of the past. They compellingly argue that these concealed artifacts were not mere remnants but integral to the lives and beliefs of those who inhabited these spaces.

As the narrative unfolds, readers are taken on a journey that reveals how the act of 'building magic' permeated the fabric of society, intertwining the mundane with the mystical. This book serves as a captivating testament to the enduring power of ritual, encouraging a re-enchantment of how one views architecture and its historical significance.
