This volume is a fully expanded and revised architectural guide to
the greater part of Oxfordshire, based on Jennifer Sherwood's 1970s
account, full of new information and with specially commissioned
photography.The vernacular architecture of the villages and farms
is well represented here, as well as notable town architecture and
the medieval parish churches for which the area is well known.
Oxfordshire is also a county of great houses, from the romantic
medieval ruins of Minster Lovell to the late flowering of Lutyens's
1930s Middleton Park; the grandest, however, is Blenheim Palace,
the Baroque masterpiece designed by John Vanbrugh (1664-1726).
