The indispensable guide to the architectural heritage of Wiltshire
With hundreds of buildings added to the new gazetteer, this volume
offers a fully revised and updated guide to Wiltshire. From prehistoric
Stonehenge and thirteenth-century Salisbury Cathedral, to Elizabethan
Longleat, Palladian Wilton and landscaped gardens of Stourhead, the
buildings of Wiltshire represent the best of every period of English
architecture. Towns range from Marlborough with its sweeping High Street
to Bradford-on-Avon, rich in the architectural legacy of clothiers'
houses. Villages include the exceptional Lacock in the shadow of its
abbey's remains as well as Avebury, where the houses sit within the
famous stone circle. This volume, covering structures as diverse as
garden follies and railway workers' housing is an essential reference
for visitors and residents alike.
