Home page (and contact info)

We have had the pleasure of visiting many Romanesque churches in our travels. There is a strong simplicity to their design and they have an evocative quality of peace and reflectiveness. We often have these visits to ourselves and take the opportunity to sing a latin chant. The churches are generally small and ther acoustics good and this adds to the quality of our visit. There are many churches and these pages make no claim to be comprehensive by area, but are rather a personal reflection of our experiences. We revisit these areas and if you know a Romanesque church of which you are particularly fond, let us know and we will seek it out the next time around. These pages grow out of our interest in Carolingian sites, primarily in France.
