Extending the concept of British vernacular architecture to embrace buildings such as places of worship, villas, hospitals, suburban semis and post-war mass housing, this book is of use to anyone with an interest in architectural history.“Applied to building types and periods once considered outside the pale, this kind of scholarship may do much to demolish the academic hedgerows that have portioned the British architectural landscape for too long” – Buildings & Landscapes
