Berkshire's houses range from intriguing early timber-framed dwellings to the splendors of Windsor Castle, at once England's greatest fortress and finest royal palace, through Georgian, Victorian and Arts-&-Crafts mansions of exceptional diversity and richness. This title offers a guide that follows Berkshire's historic boundaries.
Revised and updated from its earlier edition, this latest volume in the Pevsner Architectural Guides series provides a comprehensive guide to the significant buildings of Berkshire, ranging from the "Silicon Valley" commercial buildings of Reading, to Slough (the place on which John Betjeman invited friendly bombs to fall), and to Windsor Castle and St. George's Chapel.
