No other country offers so rich and varied a heritage of traditional buildings as England.

From windmills to water mills, cottages to castles, dovecotes to beeboles a wealth of treasures await discovery.

Drawing upon forty years' experience of caring for historic structures Geoffrey R.

He explains not just the purpose of these buildings but the part they played in the history of the countryside, showing how the buildings evolved and the ways in which people lived and worked in them.

The result is an invaluable guide that will enhance the reader's understanding and appreciation of England's rich and varied heritage.
