The Warren Churchscape (in a new revised edition) is a richly illustrated guide to all seventy of the 18th and 19th century churches and meetinghouses still standing in Warren County. Frank Greenagel, author of The New Jersey Churchscape and 12 other volumes on the old churches of New Jersey, and developer of the widely popular website, www.njchurchscape.com, explores and explains the history of Warren's religious buildings, from the earliest religious structure—a beautifully-restored stone Quaker meetinghouse on Scott's Mountain erected in 1753, to the stylish Episcopal church—St. Mary's—on the green in Belvidere. The subtitle of the book, Religious Architecture in 18th & 19th Century, suggests that the book goes well beyond an inventory of the old churches of the county; in fact, it might serve well as a basic reference on architectural styles and construction traditions during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In order to preserve the unique story of the structures, some in danger of being lost to history, Greenagel spent more than eight years in fieldwork and research, logging countless hours on the road, in the library and in the darkroom. This definitive volume will allow readers to look anew at the religious buildings of Warren, providing information for curious congregation members and historians alike. The book includes an outline of architectural styles, a brief account of the religious denominations operating in the state during the early centuries, a glossary of architectural terms, an extensive bibliography, and index. A separate section on 13 of the old churches of Easton and Riegelsville that served early Warren residents is appended, along with a fascinating account of the early 19th century Thatcher church which lies in ruins near Broadway.
