Description: This book's esteemed author, an esteemed architect dedicated to improving the beauty and comfort of rural landscapes, passionately advocates for the preservation and architectural evolution of traditional village buildings. The author takes the countryside buildings of Britain as his subject—including churches, almshouses, schools, and public buildings—and provides practical insights, historical context, and detailed plans for building in the old English style. At its core, this book is a love letter to the rural landscape, and it is an exploration of history, with practical advice on how to use the past to create a more beautiful present. The author's thoughtful and detailed plans and drawings will appeal to architects, urban planners, and preservationists.
