This volume is a fully expanded and revised architectural guide to the greater part of Oxfordshire, based on Jennifer Sherwood’s 1970s account, full of new information and with specially commissioned photography.The vernacular architecture of the villages and farms is well represented here, as well as notable town architecture and the medieval parish churches for which the area is well known. Oxfordshire is also a county of great houses, from the romantic medieval ruins of Minster Lovell to the late flowering of Lutyens’s 1930s Middleton Park; the grandest, however, is Blenheim Palace, the Baroque masterpiece designed by John Vanbrugh (1664–1726).
"Alan Brooks and his collaborators are to be congratulated in providing an excellent up-to-date guide to the buildings of north and west Oxfordshire." – David Roffe, Ecclesiology Today
“The appearance of a revised volume covering part of Oxfordshire presents an opportunity [. . .] to consider how the county has changed in almost fifty years.” —Robert Parkinson, Oxoniensia
“An attractive and well-illustrated volume” – Stephen Mileson, Vernacular Architecture
“England is blessed in having a Pevsner architectural guide to each county. A long-term project of scholarship of the sort in which this country shines, it is all the better for help of Yale as publishers.”—Christopher Howse, The Daily Telegraph 3 June 2017
