From the description of the Alcuin Club which commissioned this work: "...there was no Society which dealt with the practical study of ceremonial, or the arrangement of churches, their furniture, and ornaments, in accordance with the rubrics of the Book of Common Prayer. To encourage this study the Alcuin Club was formed, which although practical, is intended to work upon purely historical and of course English lines. Strict obedience to the Book of Common Prayer is the guiding principle of the work of the Club."
