This survey sets out to record the features of the English landscape that were being pulled down, restored out of recognition or simply forgotten. Ditchfield moves through walled towns, castles, churches and manor houses, prehistoric stones, cathedral cities, coaching inns, guildhalls, crosses, stocks and whipping-posts, and old bridges, pleading throughout for their care.
An early plea for heritage conservation and a pleasure for anyone who loves old English buildings. Download the free EPUB.
