Reviews

“The newly revised Pevsner addition to Northamptonshire shows the county batting well above its size in numbers of fine buildings.”—Marcus Binney, The Times
*The Times*

“The Pevsner architectural guides to the counties of Britain are crammed with . . . tiny fascinating details. Yale University Press and the Paul Mellon Centre in British Art . . . must be praised for this work of scholarship, unequalled in the world."—Harry Mount, The Daily Telegraph
*Daily Telegraph*

“I walked over the fields to Rushton on a fresh sunny morning this week to try out the new Pevsner Buildings of England volume, Northamptonshire, which Harry Mount wrote about on Monday. We agree that the series is unequalled in the world.”—Christopher Howse, Daily Telegraph
*Daily Telegraph*

“Pevsner’s achievement in visiting and writing about every building of architectural importance in England was breathtaking. . . Bailey, without lowering the tone, is more expansive and easier to read, and he tells us much more about the families and craftsmen responsible for these buildings than Pevsner had the space to do.”—Alexander Chancellor, The Spectator
