Although John Carr dominated the building world in the North of England in the second half of the 18th century, with several hundred commissions to his name, and served twice as Lord Mayor of York, this is the first comprehensive study of his life and work. A portrait of a man who epitomizes the Georgian architect, who was as happy to be friends with the craftsman as with the aristocrat, and who understood the importance of politics and patronage.
