这本书是一次勇敢而重要的尝试，将盎格鲁-撒克逊建筑与（主要是晚期撒克逊）礼仪手稿的语料库结合起来，以便更好地理解神圣的地方。每一章都有不同的主题，从圣地的创建（第2章）、盎格鲁-撒克逊教堂的分组（第3章）和露天游行（第4章）开始，然后将重点缩小到教堂、它们的形式和功能（第5章）以及它们的奉献仪式（第6章）。最后一个主题认为教会是“思考的机器”（第7章）。这些主题都是从礼拜的角度来发展的，在任何时候都牢牢记住了大陆的背景，并将其适应到岛屿世界和撒克逊晚期的各种变化准确地记录下来。这使得教堂及其周围的环境可以从不同的角度来看，并为伴随的景观区域提供了新的光线。因此，书中有一个有用的章节，介绍了盎格鲁-撒克逊人在墓地举行的特殊的奉献仪式，以及这种仪式与教堂墓地圈围的关系。世纪中期开始采用的铺有瓷砖的人行道，巧妙地与坎特伯雷的一种仪式联系起来，这种仪式是为了祝福重新铺设的人行道（第6章）。
This book is a brave and important attempt to coalesce Anglo-Saxon architecture with the corpus of (largely Late Saxon) liturgical manuscripts, in order better to comprehend sacred places. Each chapter takes a different theme, beginning with the creation of sacred places (Chapter 2), the grouping of Anglo-Saxon churches (Chapter 3), and open-air processions (Chapter 4), before narrowing the focus down to churches, their form and function (Chapter 5) and the rites for their dedications (Chapter 6). A final theme considers churches as ‘Machines for Thinking’ (Chapter 7). The themes are developed throughout from a liturgical viewpoint, with the Continental background firmly in mind at all times, and with its adaptation into the Insular world and the multifarious changes of the Late Saxon period accurately documented. This enables churches and their surroundings to be seen from a different perspective and sheds new light on areas of the accompanying landscape. Thus, there is a useful section on the peculiar Anglo-Saxon consecration rites for cemeteries and their relationship to the enclosure of churchyards, and the introduction of tiled pavements from the mid-tenth century onwards is skilfully related to an ordo from Canterbury for the blessing of a pavement that had been re-laid (Chapter 6).
