The Cathedrals of England

This architectural survey describes the medieval and later cathedrals of England, church by church, with attention to plan, stone, vaulting, stained glass, and later fittings. The material is arranged by region: the North and East Anglia, the South-East, and the West and Midlands. Each entry follows the building's growth from Norman work through Gothic campaigns and post-medieval repair. Pevsner and Metcalf write as guides to fabric and style rather than as narrators of diocesan politics. The book is a topographical handbook of cathedral architecture, not a history of the English church.

Bound in grey cloth boards with pink gilt printed spine. 103 illustrations. Pale grey slipcase with a photograph on the front panel.
