An expanded and fully revised edition of John Newman's classic
survey of the buildings of West Kent, first published in 1969. Here
is an extraordinary concentration of architecture of the first
rank, and an immense variety of landscape and townscape, from the
deep woods of the Weald to the shingles of Dungeness, the cathedral
city of Rochester with its Norman castle, and the remarkable
Georgian naval dockyard at Chatham. Domestic buildings of note
range from plentiful timber-framed hall houses to the Palladian
masterpiece of Mereworth Castle and the planned modernist village
of New Ash Green, as well as country houses on the grandest scale,
such as Cobham Hall and Knole. The parish churches can show rich
and memorable work of almost every period, especially the middle
ages and the Gothic Revival. This new edition includes detailed
explorations of many rewarding urban areas, and fresh perspectives
on such famous landmarks as Ightham Mote, Sissinghurst and Hever
Castle.
