Informationen zum Autor Alan Brooks is the author of two previous volumes in the revised Buildings of England series, Gloucestershire 1: the Cotswolds and Gloucestershire 2: the Vale and the Forest of Dean . Klappentext This expanded and updated guide to the buildings of Worcestershire encompasses the entire county, from the dramatic Malvern Hills through the Severn Valley to the fringes of the Cotswolds. Medieval Worcestershire is represented by the fine Gothic cathedral of Worcester, the splendid remains of the abbeys and priories, and the many parish churches with their rich inheritance of Norman work. Timber-framed houses are abundant. But Worcestershire is also a county of red brick and sandstone, with such fine country houses as Jacobean Westwood, Hanbury Hall, Hagley Hall, and Witley Court. Among the towns are Stourport, the only English town created by the canals, the genteel spa resort at Great Malvern, and the leafy New Town at Redditch. Zusammenfassung A comprehensive guide to the buildings of Worcestershire: the fine Gothic cathedral of Worcester! the splendid remains of the abbeys and priories at Pershore! Evesham! and Malvern! and the many parish churches with their rich inheritance of Norman work.
