Charles Thomas Cracklow was an architect and surveyor who meticulously recorded Surrey’s churches in beautifully detailed drawings and engraved them for publication using the relatively new invention of lithography – or drawing on stone. Each drawing is accompanied by a measured plan of the church and a description, providing important information for the appearance of the county’s churches before later alterations.

His book was called 'Views of the Churches and Chapels of Ease in the County of Surry' (London, 1827). The title includes the older spelling of Surrey.
