The Architecture of Wales: From the First to the Twenty-First Century
()
About this ebook
Architecture reflects not only a nation’s history, but also how its people lived, worked, prayed and fought over the centuries. Since the publication of John B. Hilling’s The Historic Architecture of Wales in 1976, there has been no other attempt at addressing the architecture of Wales as a whole, and this revised publication meets a long-felt need for a general survey of architecture in Wales. It covers two thousand years of architectural history, reflecting the nation’s life from Roman times to the present century – less a revision of the original than a complete re-writing, taking into account recent research and recent buildings. The book is illustrated with 268 colour and black-and-white photographs, drawings, plans and maps.
John B. Hilling
Before retiring, John B. Hilling was an architect and town planner. Born in Abertysswg, in the Rhymney valley, he now lives in Cardiff and is the author of nine books and numerous articles, mostly on historic architecture in Wales.
