The eleventh, and definitive, 1882 edition of this hugely popular, highly illustrated work consists of two volumes on Gothic ecclesiastical architecture and a third on church vestments. Bloxam records his concern that: 'In the so-called restorations of ancient churches, not a few historical features … have been ruthlessly … swept away.'
