The Development of English Building Construction was originally
published in 1916. Its author, C. F. Innocent, had an great passion
for his subject and an extensive knowledge of English architecture.
He wrote this volume as a reaction to the predominant position of
ecclesiastical buildings in other works on English construction
history, wishing instead to give precedence to the small but
significant works of architecture that constitute a true history of
English construction. Innocent's work focuses on cruck-framed homes
and farm buildings, as well as stone and cob-walled dwellings.
There is also a discussion of traditional roofing techniques and
the cultural and linguistic significance of English architecture
through the ages. Innocent's points are well evidenced, eloquently
argued and supported by a series of intriguing black and white
illustrations. This book will continue to fascinate and invigorate
any reader with an interest in English construction history,
whether passing or professional.
