The Church Restored 

Including, By Permission, 

The Church, a poem,

By The Rev George Crabbe, L. L. B

London 1848

**27.3cm x 21.5cm 50pp + 7 Engraved Plates. Rebound in a modern cloth binding with blue and yellow design to the front board.**

The Church Restored is missing from Bareham and S. Gatrell’s bibliography of Crabbe. It is about the parish church of Trowbridge in Wiltshire, the rebuilding and restoration of which it describes: partly for information, partly to raise money to liquidate the debt due on the building. The book’s inclusion in the collection is owing to the fact that pp. 3-12 of the 50-page work are taken up by Crabbe’s poem ‘The Church’ (from The Borough): the first and longest of eight poems to be reproduced in the volume. The opening lines of Crabbe’s poem, asking: “What is a church?” and answering the question, are taken up in the contribution immediately following the poem, ‘Remarks on the Term Church’.
