Product Description

Jonathan Meades, The Observer, 25th November 2001.

"The greatest endeavour of popular architectural scholarship in the world."


Product Description

In this agricultural county of East Anglia, "scenery and buildings are a delight", wrote Pevsner. Numerous medieval houses and magnificent flint-faced churches with fine roofs and rich furnishings bear witness to the prosperity brought by the late medieval cloth trade. Castles are nobly represented by the unusual polygonal keep of Orford and the curtain-walled Framlingham, and great houses by a notable sequence of brick buildings of the sixteenth century. Among the coastal settlements are the lost town of Dunwich and picturesque Southwold; the varied inland towns range from Lavenham, remarkable for its exceptionally well preserved timber-framed buildings, to Bury St Edmunds, where fine Georgian houses are gathered around the precinct of the vast Norman abbey.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful enough, but badly needs updating., 18 Dec 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Suffolk (The Buildings of England) (Hardcover)
This book was most recently revised in 1974, but is essentially little different from the 1959 original, apart from the addition of sixties buildings and the removal of some major buildings destroyed in that decade. For instance, it still lists the tower of the church at Linstead Magna, even though it was demolished in 1964. However, it is a handy volume, very good if your interest is architectural rather than historical or liturgical. It is the only major guide which lists non-Anglican churches, and it is always good to have a guide to other, non-ecclesiastical buildings in the area. A new edition is in preparation. If it is as good as the new editions for Northumberland and North-East Norfolk, then it will be very good indeed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Indispensible if you're interested in local architecture., 11 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Suffolk (The Buildings of England) (Hardcover)
One of the series covering all of England compiled and completed by the author in the late nineteen-sixties. This series formed the basis for the television series featuring the author as architectural historian. This is more than just a catalogue of the buildings of architectural interest in the county. The descriptions contain detail that enable one to enjoy an informed visit to a site. It also contains geographical, archeological and historical background information that helps to explain much about materials and styles used. Keep it in your car! And get the others in the series when you travel elsewhere!

4.0 out of 5 stars The glories of England are to hand, 29 Aug 2008
By J. Hutchings "jjhutchings" (Framlingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Pevsner's 'Buildings of England' are a remarkable collection of books. I am slowly building up a collection of them all. They are perfect for when guests come to stay and need taking out somewhere.

The Suffolk edition was my first, given as that is my current home county. The photographs are useful indicators of what to expect, and cleverly arranged. The written details may appear to be laborious and lacking of emotion or personality, but anyone who has an understanding of language will quickly come to see that they are at times quite biting.

An excellent resource for a very reasonable price.
