Architectural Britain: From the Saxon Period to the Present Day by Hubert Pragnell

Architectural Britain: From the Saxon Period to the Present Day by Hubert Pragnell, Ptolemy Dean (Foreword)

Revised, updated and expanded, this book is both a guide and a compact history of Britain's built heritage. In accessible language, it broadly outlines the development of architectural styles and movements in Britain, from Gothic cathedrals, Tudor dwellings, sweeping Georgian crescents light up to Canary Wharf skyscrapers and the Scottish Parliament building. Detailed drawings and atmospheric photographs illustrate key buildings and architectural features in their historical context. Many of these buildings are in the care of the National Trust.
