Buildings Of Delight

Part of the Buildings History series.

This book is the culmination of the late Alec Clifton-Taylor's love affair with architecture, for it brings together one hundred of his favourite buildings, each of which is described in his inimitable way. Castles, abbeys, mills, dovecots; great houses, manor houses, farmhouses, churches, bridges, market crosses, even railway stations; all are described in fascinating detail, with scholarship and humour, and illustrated with copious colour and black-and-white photographs.

From the celebrated - Leeds Castle, Stourhead, Chatsworth - to the less so - Saxtead Green windmill, Wansford Bridge, Turner's Hospital - 'Buildings Of Delight' is an idiosyncratic treasure-house of beautiful architecture.
