Cumbria Pevsner Architectural Guide

Cumbria Pevsner Architectural Guide, in a series of publications begun with the express aim of providing up-to-date guides to the most significant buildings in every part of the country, suitable for both general reader and specialist.

Each volume provides an introductory overview of the architecture of the area, followed by a descriptive gazetteer arranged alphabetically by place. Whilst cathedrals and their furnishings, great country houses and their parks form the grand set pieces, the books demonstrate the enjoyable diversity of architecture in the British Isles in accounts of rural churches and farmsteads, Victorian public buildings and industrial monuments.

A continuing programme of publication keeps the series up-to-date with new information on older buildings and recent architecture while maintaining the tradition of Pevsner''s own succinct accounts. Each book has over 100 photographs, mostly specially commissioned, numerous maps and plans, a glossary and indexes.
