Abstract
The article analyzes one of the most popular works of the British poet Philip Larkin. The poem “Church Going” expressed the processes that took place in English society in the post-war period. Many English people broke up with religion and stopped visiting church. But such a refusal was followed by some losses. Certain of the former believers felt disagreeable themselves after leaving church. Larkin tries to find out what qualities of church had attracted people, what they had gotten there and what can replace church in the future when it ceases to exist as a social institution. In addition to the content study, the article pays attention to stylistic analysis and analysis of the elements of poetic form.
