One single volume of a multi-volume set that details all of the older structures found in Glamorgan, a southern county in Wales. "Herein described are the greater houses built between the Reformation and the Industrial Revolution. Among the better known buildings included is the manor house, Beaupre, with its famous early Renaissance porch and the great Orangery at Margam. The contents comprise introduction, distribution maps, full desciptions, comprehensive drawings and plates, eight in colour. The main inventory, arranged in a historical and typological order, should make the historical evolution of building types described easy to grasp." (dj) Many elevations and floor plans are included in the drawings. Quite nice.
