Reviews

Spence [is] a good companion, brisk and amusing. There are still stretches of ravishing beauty and corners of great architectural and historical interest, with plenty of surprises and anecdotes to go with them and new things I found delightful on nearly every page. I learnt a lot and intend to carry the book around and learn more. TABLET [Isabel Quigly] Keith Spence shows how much as yet survives and how rich and fascinating this part of England still is. He writes sensitively and knowledgeably about buildings and architecture, and has a keen sense of the detail that gives identity to a place. OBSERVER It is [in] the penetration into the small and remainingly typical aspects of the two counties that Keith Spence so informatively indulges. This book is a delight for all who live in or visit this yet typical area of England.
