Many of the best-known and best-loved hymns have tunes that are named after places. In this fascinating and entertaining book Mark Browse takes us on a tour of some of these places, discovering the stories behind the hymns and finding out how the tunes got their names. From Aberdeenshire to West Sussex, from Essex to Austria, from as far away as Jupiter to your own back-yard, it is a journey of surprising twists and turns. Along the way we meet not only priests and poets, but also murderers, seafarers, emperors and ploughmen.
