Today, millions of tourists from around the world are drawn to Windsor
by its magnificent castle, dating from the eleventh century, and its
wealth of royal history. Although the castle is at the heart of the
town, this book reveals there are many more notable architectural gems -
both ancient and modern - to be discovered there. For the visitors who
come to Windsor, many will venture across its nineteenth-century bridge
to explore its smaller neighbouring town of Eton, famous for its
college, on the opposite side of the River Thames. In Windsor & Eton in
50 Buildings, authors Paul Rabbitts and Rob Ickinger takes readers on an
engaging tour to discover fifty buildings and landmarks that capture the
immense heritage of the towns, and to show how they have developed
across the centuries. Among the places featured are Windsor's Guildhall
and the charming seventeenth-century Crooked House.
