SHORT HISTORY OF BRITISH ARCHITECTURE (PB)

The language of architecture is a mystery to most of us – and yet the story of Britain is continually being told to us by buildings we walk past every day. Covering styles ranging from the Roman to Gothic to Modernism, this enlightening book explores castles and cathedrals, factories and railway stations, to reveal historic changes in politics, religion, society and technology – and also introduce the singular, eccentric and sometimes rather ordinary characters who have literally shaped Britain.
