The indispensable guide to the architectural heritage of Wiltshire
With hundreds of buildings added to the new gazetteer, this volume
offers a fully revised and updated guide to Wiltshire. From
prehistoric Stonehenge and thirteenth-century Salisbury Cathedral,
to Elizabethan Longleat, Palladian Wilton and landscaped gardens of
Stourhead, the buildings of Wiltshire represent the best of every
period of English architecture. Towns range from Marlborough with
its sweeping High Street to Bradford-on-Avon, rich in the
architectural legacy of clothiers' houses. Villages include the
exceptional Lacock in the shadow of its abbey's remains as well as
Avebury, where the houses sit within the famous stone circle. This
volume, covering structures as diverse as garden follies and
railway workers' housing is an essential reference for visitors and
residents alike.
