A comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the buildings in one of the
best-loved and most beautiful areas of England. Major buildings
include great medieval wool churches and grand country houses such
as Badminton and Dyrham, besides some remarkable relics of the
early Industrial Revoltion and much fine work by the Arts and
Crafts Movement. The architecture of such celebrated towns as
Cirencester and Chipping Campden is covered in depth, as are the
many villages and smaller houses. An expert overview is given in
the introduction, which also surveys the rich prehistoric and Roman
remains and the subtleties of the famous Cotswold stone. This
revised and expanded volume is the latest addition to the famous
Pevsner Architectural Guides, the fruit of extensive new research
and deep local knowledge. Numerous maps, plans and new photographs,
full indexes and a glossary help make this the indispensable guide
for any lover of the Cotswolds.
