This is the essential companion to the architecture of
Cambridgeshire, fully revised for the first time in sixty years and
featuring superb new photography. Half of the book is devoted to
the famous university city, with its astonishingly rich and varied
inheritance of college buildings including striking post-war
additions. A combination of boldness and innovation may be found at
Ely Cathedral, one of the greatest achievements of English medieval
design. By comparison, the rest of the county remains surprisingly
little known. Its largely unspoiled landscapes vary from the
northern flat fen country to the rolling chalk uplands of the south
and east; its architecture encompasses rewarding village churches,
distinctive vernacular building in timber, stone, and brick, the
former monastic sites at Denny and Anglesey, and the magnificent
aristocratic seat of Wimpole Hall.
