My services to Wiltshire and Craig Brown’s garden
How have I managed to live in Wiltshire for 30 years without Nikolaus Pevsner’s guide to the county, first published in 1963?
This third edition now sitting in my hands is regarded as the most comprehensive, reliable and essential guide to Wiltshire’s architectural heritage from prehistory to the present day.
Well, to answer my own question, I have managed quite easily. Trowbridgebased Ken Watts’s (1998) has been an agreeable companion for this layman, researching his adopted county. I also stumbled across HW Timperley’s (1954), which taught me more about my immediate surroundings.
