Old Styles's is a book written by Henry Spicer, first published in 1859. The book is a historical account of the evolution of English architecture from the Norman Conquest in 1066 to the end of the Gothic period in the mid-16th century. The book covers a wide range of architectural styles, from the Romanesque and Gothic to the Tudor and Elizabethan. Spicer provides detailed descriptions of the key features of each style, as well as the historical and cultural context in which they developed. Throughout the book, Spicer also explores the social and political factors that influenced the development of English architecture over the centuries. He examines the role of the Church, the monarchy, and the aristocracy in shaping the country's architectural landscape. Old Styles's is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of English architecture. It offers a comprehensive overview of the major architectural styles and trends that have shaped the country's built environment, and provides a fascinating insight into the cultural and historical context in which they emerged.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
