"R.W. Brunskill has completely brought up to date his classic work for this third edition. [...] The book is about the architecture not of great houses or of great churches but of the lesser houses - manor houses, farm houses and cottages - and barns, stables and mills, inns and shops, and early industrial buildings close to the domestic scale that down to the 19th century were built according to local traditions. The various materials and methods of construction used for walls, roofs, staircases, windows, doorways and other features are covered, and the layout of the book makes it easy to relate descriptions in hte text to Dr. Brunskill's clear, accurate diagrams and the excellent photographs."
