About This Item
Donington: Shaun Tyas & Wakefield Historical Publications, 2019. Book. Fine. Hardback. 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A fine new copy. This book is published in association with Wakefield Historical Publications. Peter Brears, historic house consultant and food historian, has had a life-long interest in the ancient buildings of Wakefield and its immediate area: he recorded some in the 1960s and '70s as they were being demolished. This handsome full colour book, with over 61 illustrations, provides detailed reconstructions of buildings from the Tudor and Stuart period, when Wakefield was a major market town and cloth industry centre. The coloured drawings are meticulously crafted and are accompanied with a scholarly text, introduction, notes, appendix and index. The chapters cover the secular buildings (mostly shops and inns), the churches, public buildings, and gentry halls around Wakefield. Possibly one of the most significant books published on Wakefield since J.W Walker FSA in the 19930s with interest stretching far beyond the town, shedding light on vernacular buildings and regional towns of the period...
