A newly expanded volume on England's preeminent "Home County,"
exploring its mix of rural and urban architecture as well as its
many major historic buildings Surrey, originally published in 1962,
was the first Buildings of England volume that Pevsner shared with
another author, and Ian Nairn's brilliant, provocative descriptions
have been treas ured by many ever since. For centuries Surrey has
been the playground for London, and home to thousands of its
commuters. Yet much of the county is still deeply wooded or
surprisingly bucolic. This fully revised and enhanced edition, the
first since 1971, is packed with new information on its major
historic buildings - Waverley Abbey, Farnham Castle, Sutton Place
and Loseley Park among others - and much-expanded accounts of its
Victorian set pieces - Royal Holloway College, Holloway Sanatorium
and Charterhouse School - alongside fresh appreciation of the
twentieth century, including its principal monument, Guildford's
cath edral. To the fore in Surrey is domestic architecture:
medieval farmhouses, seventeenth-century gentry houses in the
Artisan Classical style, eighteenth-century country houses,
Victorian and Edwardian businessmen's residences, designed most
famously by Norman Shaw, Lutyens and Voysey, and high-class
suburban estates. Into this small county is fitted architecture of
endless variety, ranging from Georgian designed landscapes to
military cemeteries, from seminaries to shooting clubs, and from
lime kilns to lunatic asylums.
