This beautifully illustrated book tells the stories behind 60 remarkable buildings chosen from the many thousands at National Trust properties across England, Wales and Northern Ireland

Spanning 900 years of history, this selection of 60 remarkable buildings in the care of the National Trust ranges from a 13th-century tithe barn in Oxfordshire to a 20th-century suburban semi in Liverpool; from a medieval guildhall in Suffolk to a Victorian lighthouse in Tyne and Wear; from an Arts and Crafts village in County Antrim to an atomic research facility in East Anglia. The book has an introduction by George Clarke and concludes with a useful illustrated glossary of terms and architectural features.
