This expertly revised and enlarged survey is the perfect
architectural companion to one of England's most beautiful regions.
From the misty Levels to the heights of Exmoor and the Mendips, the
Somerset landscape is enriched by buildings of outstanding quality
and interest. The early medieval ruins of Glastonbury Abbey and the
Elizabethan great house of Montacute are among the finest works of
their time. Also famous are the lavishly decorated church towers of
the Perpendicular period, such as those at Taunton, Evercreech, and
Huish Episcopi. Many of these churches serve towns and villages of
exceptional charm, marked by an unusual diversity of building
stones and materials. From Porlock to Burnham-on-Sea, the ports and
resorts of the long coastline all have their own distinctive
architectural inheritance. Well-kept vernacular houses and other
rural buildings complete the inland picture.
