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.
