Simon Thurley The Lost Buildings of Britain
Viking 2004 0670915211 / 9780670915217 Hardcover New
"Brand New, Hardcover with dust jacket, clean, tight, unmarked In Lost Buildings of Britain leading historian Simon Thurley takes a journey into our nation’s past and reveals the hidden narratives behind what we have lost from our historic landscape. Today they are ruins, destroyed by fire, neglect, war and even progress. But once they were places of great importance and beauty. Sifting through the remains, Thurley paints a fascinating portrait of how our ancestors once lived and worked. The six buildings are: Britain's oldest monastery at Glastonbury, desecrated during the Reformation: the elegant Palace of Whitehall, home to the Tudor and Stuart kings: Nottingham Castle: Millbank Penitentiary: Fonthill Abbey: and the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Together the lost buildings of Britain will tell, in fascinating detail, the stories of the people, ideas, customs and dreams behind these extraordinary places. ID: mon0000002609"
