Bruce Bailey is a Northamptonshire man and has contributed
to both of the previous editions of the guide to the county in this
series. He serves as archivist at Drayton House and for the Althorp
Estate.
“The newly revised Pevsner addition to Northamptonshire shows the
county batting well above its size in numbers of fine
buildings.”—Marcus Binney, The Times
*The Times*
“The Pevsner architectural guides to the counties of Britain are
crammed with . . . tiny fascinating details. Yale University
Press and the Paul Mellon Centre in British Art . . . must be
praised for this work of scholarship, unequalled in the
world."—Harry Mount, The Daily Telegraph
*Daily Telegraph*
“I walked over the fields to Rushton on a fresh sunny morning this
week to try out the new Pevsner Buildings of England volume,
Northamptonshire, which Harry Mount wrote about on Monday. We agree
that the series is unequalled in the world.”—Christopher Howse,
Daily Telegraph
*Daily Telegraph*
“Pevsner’s achievement in visiting and writing about every building
of architectural importance in England was breathtaking. . .
Bailey, without lowering the tone, is more expansive and easier to
read, and he tells us much more about the families and craftsmen
responsible for these buildings than Pevsner had the space to
do.”—Alexander Chancellor, The Spectator
