Wiltshire is one of the best counties in Britain for architectural
fancy, for the county's residents have expressed their passion for
building in a plethora of styles including Gothic, Rustic,
classical, Monumental, Chinese, Indian, Italianate and Japanese. We
can see their ingenuity and eccentricity in an equally wide variety
of building types, including shell houses, grottoes, pagodas,
towers, temples, summer houses, tea houses, gazebos, belvederes,
lodges, gatehouses, pavilions, arches, loggias... the list is
endless. The stories behind them are many and various - built out
of passion, megalomania, showing off one's wealth or to keep up
with one's neighbours or, in contrast, delicate artistry and
finesse. Many are on well-known estates such as Stourhead and
Bowood, but others are rarely seen by the public, tucked away in
private grounds to which exclusive access has been gained for this
book.
