Bedfordshire is one of the smallest English counties but encompasses a great variety in landscape & architecture. Its major monument is Woburn Abbey, one of the finest Georgian country houses in Engl&, & the influence of the estate is widely felt in the model housing & schools in the county`s villages. Its many other attractions range from the churches of the market towns of Bedford, Leighton Buzzard & Ampthill to the majestic gardens at Wrest Park. Such variety is also to be found in Huntingdonshire & Peterborough, famous not only for the Cathedral & the spires of the stone medieval parish churches scattered across its remote & intimate landscape but also for vast & stately Burghley House & Vanbrugh`s Kimbolton Castle. This fully revised edition of Pevsner`s original guide of 1968 contains separate introductions, gazetteers & photographs for Bedfordshire & Huntingdonshire & Peterborough. ...

` Bedlam!` The very name conjures up graphic images of naked patients chained among filthy straw, or parading untended wards deluded that they are Napoleon or Jesus Christ. We owe this image of madness to William Hogarth, who, in plate eight of his 1735 Rake`s Progress series, depicts the anti-hero in Bedlam, the latest addition to a freak show providing entertainment for Londoners between trips to the Tower Zoo, puppet shows & public executions. That this is still the most powerful image of Bedlam, over two centuries later, says much about our attitude to mental illness, although the Bedlam of the popular imagination is long gone. The hospital was relocated to the suburbs of Kent in 1930, & Sydney Smirke`s impressive Victorian building in Southwark took on a new role as the Imperial War Museum. Following the historical narrative structure of her acclaimed Necropolis, BEDLAM examines the capital`s treatment of the insane over the centuries, from the founding of Bethlehem Hospital in 1247 through the heyday of the great Victorian asylums to the more enlightened attitudes that prevail today. ...
