A beautiful book and veritable treasure trove of some of the incredibly varied architecture this country has to offer. - Jack Cheshire, author of London: A Guide for Curious Wanderers

Discover the extraordinary stories written into Britain's historic buildings--and the people, power, and ideas that shaped them.

From time-worn ruins and cathedrals to tucked-away country churches and elegant stately homes, Britain is full of genuinely incredible--but often surprisingly overlooked--historic buildings.

Laden with character, style, and deep layers of heritage, these structures each represent something unique: they are the bearers of natural history, examples of the country's curious mish mash of architectural styles, and monuments to civic pride, power and creativity.

Each of their stones tells a remarkable story, including:

  • St Magnus' Cathedral in Orkney, glowing with red sandstone and blending Norwegian, Norman, and Gothic influences.
  • East Anglia and Scotland's medieval round-tower churches, ingenious responses to local geology and cultural exchange.
  • Layer Marney Tower, a Tudor display of status showcasing rare Italian terracotta ornament.
  • St Edmundsbury Cathedral, where a 21st-century Gothic tower carries medieval craft traditions into the modern age.
