Buildings Of Delight (Building Heritage S.)

by Alec Clifton - Taylor (Author)

Synopsis

Buildings of Delight is a treasury of one hundred remarkable buildings, many of them not too well-known. They are chosen by the celebrated architectural historian, Alec Clifton-Taylor, whose Six English Towns series on BBC TV attracted an audience of over 5 million viewers. The Buildings range from cathedrals and castles to windmills and dovecots remarkable not only for their character and beauty but also for the extraordinary range of materials used in creating them. This diversity of building materials is emphasised by the dividing of the country into six regions, with buildings from all parts of England being represented. Everyone who loves English architecture will want to possess this enchantingly original book, which is illustrated with 140 photographs, 40 of them in colour.
