Book Synopsis
The dissolution of the monasteries ravaged England in the 1530s and resulted in the greatest destruction of the built fabric of the country. This book shows that changes of style in architecture emerged from the practical needs of construction and the self-image of major patrons in the revolutionary century between Reformation and Civil War.

Trade Review

“Thanks to Howard’s lucid and accessible prose and the book’s lavish and delightful illustrations, the modern reader, whether scholarly or not, will be delighted. The old guard could well feel challenged.” - Robert Tittler, Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, 68, No. 1
