This comprehensive guide to the buildings of Worcestershire is fully revised & expanded from the first edition of 1968. The county extends from the dramatic Malvern Hills through the Severn Valley to the fringes of the Cotswolds with architecture no less rich than the landscape. Medieval Worcestershire is represented by the fine Gothic cathedral of Worcester the splendid remains of the abbeys & priories at Pershore Evesham & Malvern & the many parish churches with their rich inheritance of Norman work. Timber-framed houses are abundant with spectacular examples in both town & country from the Middle Ages until well into the seventeenth century. But Worcestershire is also a county of red brick & sandstone as the many fine country houses show: Jacobean Westwood with its extraordinary X-plan; Hanbury Hall a gem of the Wren period; Hagley Hall grand & Palladian; Witley Court now an unforgettable Victorian ruin. The towns include Stourport the only English town created by the canals Kidderminster with its carpet mills the genteel spa resort at Great Malvern & the leafy New Town at Redditch. All are fully described & explored in this essential work. ...

The second longest river in England flows through Worcestershire & its gentle hills have some of the oldest rocks in the world. Now a peaceful county of great beauty Worcestershires history is a rich tapestry. The county has been invaded many times. The Romans came in 43AD & when they left the Picts the Angles & the Jutes arrived. In 875 the Vikings swept up the River Severn looting & burning followed by William the Conqueror in 1066. In 1139 Empress Matilda came to England to claim the throne & in the ensuing civil war Worcester was burned down twice. Then in 1349 the Black Death appeared killing up to half the population of Worcestershire & changing their way of life for ever. Religious controversy has played a major part in Worcestershires history. A humble tailor from Evesham Harold Badby was burned to death in 1410 for his beliefs & two Worcestershire bishops were also burned at the stake. The Worcestershire gentry were heavily involved in the gunpowder plot of 1605 & the story of their flight across Worcestershire makes for breathtaking reading. Among the many famous figures inspired by the Malvern Hills are the composer Edward Elgar C.S. Lewis author of The Lion the Witch & the Wardrobe & J.R.R. Tolkien author of The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings. From ancient times to the present day this book endeavours to provide a comprehensive picture of the county of Worcestershire which is famous for its sauce but has a wealth of other hidden treasures besides. ...
