This expanded and updated guide to the buildings of Worcestershire
encompasses the entire county, from the dramatic Malvern Hills
through the Severn Valley to the fringes of the Cotswolds. Medieval
Worcestershire is represented by the fine Gothic cathedral of
Worcester, the splendid remains of the abbeys and priories, and the
many parish churches with their rich inheritance of Norman work.
Timber-framed houses are abundant. But Worcestershire is also a
county of red brick and sandstone, with such fine country houses as
Jacobean Westwood, Hanbury Hall, Hagley Hall, and Witley Court.
Among the towns are Stourport, the only English town created by the
canals, the genteel spa resort at Great Malvern, and the leafy New
Town at Redditch.
