The site descriptions take the form of brief notes with full bibliographical references and location maps, accompanied in most cases by photographs and drawings. The gazetteer is preceded by an introduction which analyses the range of building types to be found in the Crusader Kingdom and is followed by a supplementary gazetteer listing other sites as 'possibles', 'rejects' or 'don't knows'.

The Times Literary Supplement 'There is no doubting the value of this book as a reference tool and as a companion to the author's corpus of churches.' Medieval Archaeology
