Description
A newly expanded volume on England's preeminent "Home County," exploring its mix of rural and urban architecture as well as its many major historic buildings
Surrey, originally published in 1962, was the first Buildings of England volume that Pevsner shared with another author, and Ian Nairn's brilliant, provocative descriptions have been treasured by many ever since. For centuries Surrey has been the playground for London, and home to thousands of its commuters. Yet much of the county is still deeply wooded or surprisingly bucolic. This fully revised and enhanced edition, the first since 1971, is packed with new information on its major historic buildings - Waverley Abbey, Farnham Castle, Sutton Place and Loseley Park among others - and much-expanded accounts of its Victorian set pieces - Royal Holloway College, Holloway Sanatorium and Charterhouse School - alongside fresh appreciation of the twentieth century, including its principal monument, Guildford's cathedral. To the fore in Surrey is domestic architecture: medieval farmhouses, seventeenth-century gentry houses in the Artisan Classical style, eighteenth-century country houses, Victorian and Edwardian businessmen's residences, designed most famously by Norman Shaw, Lutyens and Voysey, and high-class suburban estates. Into this small county is fitted architecture of endless variety, ranging from Georgian designed landscapes to military cemeteries, from seminaries to shooting clubs, and from lime kilns to lunatic asylums.
