James Bettley is author of the revised guides to Suffolk and Essex in the Pevsner series.
“Scholarship, observation and thoroughness come across on
each page [. . .] This is another tribute to Pevsner’s ‘Buildings
of England’ series, which is now nearing the end of its task of
updating the earlier editions. It’s hard to over-praise them. They
make looking at England ever more rewarding, for resident and
visitor alike.” —Roger Bowdler, Country Life
“A Pevsner guide remains an indispensable way to discover those
gems, providing as it does clarity and enlightenment at some of the
most fascinating, complex and potentially confusing sites”—The
Library
“[An] excellent new edition”—Christopher Woodward, The
Victorian
“[. . .] Hertfordshire had to be a special volume, and it is good
to report that Bettley has risen to the challenge, as Bridget
Cherry did before him” — Elain Harwood, C20
“[A] joy to use, not just for information it packs in, but for its
clarity of presentation, including town maps, attractive historic
engravings throughout the text, and brilliant indexes by Judith
Waldman.”—Robert Thorne, Ancient Monuments Society
“James Bettley […] has done an admirable job of updating the
Hertfordshire volume. His work brings an already invaluable
resource up to date and ensures that this edition gives due
consideration to the many and varied buildings of one of England’s
smallest counties.” – Katie Carmichael, Vernacular Architecture
