Description and Table of Contents
Description
This illustrated book is intended as a non-specialist guide to the principal features of medieval buildings. It shows, through photographs and three-dimensional drawings, what to look for when conducting a building survey and how to recognise the clues that indicate the survival of older elements, often disguised by later alterations. Although based on Kentish examples, the book looks at the overall development of medieval buildings.
