For more than 200 years & especially since the rediscovery of ancient Egypt by Europe in the 19th century the exotic Egyptian style in architecture has been a sign of our fascination with a civilisation that has had a long-lasting & deep-seated influence on British culture. From its fashionable success in the Regency period to its varied uses in the 20th century Egyptian-style architecture has much to say about what ancient Egypt represents to us. Egypt in England is the first detailed guide to the use of the Egyptian style in architecture & interiors in England & to those that survive most of which can be seen or visited by the public. Fully illustrated it combines a series of topic essays giving the architectural & Egyptological background to the use of the style with a guide allowing sites to be located & explaining what can still be seen. A variety of buildings & monuments
- from cinema supermarket synagogue & factory to folly mill Masonic temple & mausoleum
