Britain is covered with an extraordinary array of fantastic & brilliant buildings. There are more historic buildings of more styles in Britain than even in Italy. &, our favourites occupy a similar place in the national psyche as Robin Hood & Nell Gwynne. Britain's Best Buildings celebrates the bricks-&-mortar icons of our history that are well known & loved beyond all the others: Dan Cruickshank re-visits the stuff of legend but also reveals the stories behind the buildings. Like the life of any human being, there are highs & lows to the story of every building & as even the best-known celebrity has dark corners & secret closets to explore, so do Britain's best-loved buildings. To know a great building is to make it more our own
- to know it even more will make us feel we have a stake in its past, present, & future. Each of the buildings is outstanding architecturally, yet each has strong personal stories behind their construction & as a whole they offer a journey through the nation's architecture & psyche from the 12th century to the present day.
