Architecture In Britain & Ireland 600-1500 by Lucy Archer
Everyone interested in architecture will find this book an indispensable companion to the discovery and appreciation of the astonishing number of Celtic, Saxon, Norman and medieval buildings and monuments which are still to be seen throughout Britain and Ireland. While providing a brief historical background to each period, it is mainly a comprehensive guide to the development and use of the wide range of surviving secular and ecclesiastical buildings, including church furnishings.
Lucy Archer is the author of Raymond Erith, Architect, a study of Britain's leading post-war classicist. She writes and lectures about the continuing relevance of architectural tradition in the modern world. Edwin Smith was one of England's most outstanding 20th-century photographers, whose poetic eye invested his work with a rare calm and sense of infinity. Most famous for his images of the architecture and landscape of Britain, he also left a remarkable record of his extensive travels in Europe. The photographs in this work have been chosen by his widow, Olive Cook, in collaboration with the author.
