One hundred and fiftytwo pages packed with information. Pages of line drawings and photos to help identify various architectural features. ## ### This book is a concise but comprehensive survey of the development of architecture in England from the neolithic chambered tombs, perhaps the earliest structures that can be called architecture, up to the carefully designed housing of the post-war new towns., It describes the buildings of the Roman occupation and the Romanesque style of the Anglo Saxon and Norman periods, leading up to the flowering of Gothic in the middle ages. With its return to Classical ideas, the influence of the Renaissance began to be felt in England in Elizabethan times, but not until well into the seventeenth century, with the work of Inigo Jones and Christopher Wren, did it transform the appearance of English building. The elegant country houses and urban terraces of the Georgian and Regency periods are some of the finest achievements of English architects. The nineteenth-century saw Gothic and Classic revivals engaged in a battle of styles, to be superseded this century by a somewhat belated conversion to modernism •more appropriate to a machine age. Many line drawings and photographs complement the text; there is an extensive glossary of terms and a helpful gazetteer listing representative buildings of all periods and types. ### ~#~ SHIRE PUBLICATIONS the DISCOVERY SERIES: This top-rated series of professionally researched and illustrated guides are published in England in the late 1960s to date.
