Author: DICKINSON, PHILLIP G.M.
Title: The Church of Saint Giles Great Maplestead and the Round Church Little Maplestead in the County of Essex.
Description: Parochial Church Councils of Great & Little Maplestead, 1967. Fourth edition, revised. "Great Maplestead Church is of exceptional interest, not only because so much early Norman work has survived, but also because of its comparatively rare ground plan." "Little Maplestead Church is of the greatest importance in the study of church history and architecture by reason of its circular plan..It consists of a spacious aisleless chancel terminating in a semi-circular apse - the only 14th century example of this type now existing in England - a sixsided "nave" surmounted by a low belfry and surrounded by a circular aisle, a modern west porch and a south vestry." Pp.24, black & white photo illustrations by Richard A.Burn throughout. Beige card cover. VG.
