The Pocket Guide to English Architecture

This user-friendly guide to English architecture covers historic sites to the mid-twentieth century. Divided into styles with examples highlighted—for example, the Tower of London is noted as Norman Architecture—and complemented by original prints, this quality reference stands apart from other guides. The detailed 18th and 19th century (and later) prints enable the reader to understand just what makes these styles so important. The prints also have the advantage of being much clearer than much modern photography. Written by architecture expert Philip Wilkinson, this is a must-have book for anyone who wants to know about English architecture and the pocket size makes this guide ideal for reading when traveling.
