Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. Replaces old edition by Pevsner alone. This is the part of the country which I know best and in which my soul and spirit truly live. An authoritative and truly comprehensive masterpiece. Reliable and companionable. Lovely colour photos do enhance the text. My only criticism is that the author is over-fond of understatement - more lavish praise of some buildings would not go amiss with this reader.

Appartiene alle SeriePevsner Buildings of England (14.2)
This expertly revised and enlarged survey is the perfect architectural companion to one of England’s most beautiful regions. From the misty Levels to the heights of Exmoor and the Mendips, the Somerset landscape is enriched by buildings of outstanding quality and interest. The early medieval ruins of Glastonbury Abbey and the Elizabethan great house of Montacute are among the finest works of their time. Also famous are the lavishly decorated church towers of the Perpendicular period, such as those at Taunton, Evercreech, and Huish Episcopi. Many of these churches serve towns and villages of exceptional charm, marked by an unusual diversity of building stones and materials. From Porlock to Burnham-on-Sea, the ports and resorts of the long coastline all have their own distinctive architectural inheritance. Well-kept vernacular houses and other rural buildings complete the inland picture.nbsp; Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
