Trade Review“Sussex is seen as a deeply rural county of picturesque villages and endearingly squat Norman churches. In this latest Pevsner volume on East Sussex, skilfully revised by Nicholas Antram, it is the town and cities which emerge as the stars.”—Marcus Binney, The Times
-- Marcus Binney * The Times *
“The revised
Pevsner Architectural Guide to East Sussex was truly a labour of love for Nicholas Antram. Suffering from a mortal illness, he was determined to finish his task of updating Pevsner’s 1964 original; he died soon after its completion. It has all the rigour of this admirable series, and a humanity and sensitivity of its own.”—Charlotte Moore,
