TESTIMONIALS
The Landscape of Britain
“This beautifully illustrated book expertly captures the very essence of the wonderful place where we live. Striking pictures capture the domesticity of the villages, the Wool churches and the manor houses, the enchanting wilderness of the gentle river valleys, the rolling hills and dales and the woodlands.”
Cotswold Life Magazine Dec 2010
“A book like this will probably never be made again…the photography collection is as vast as it is beautiful and is a comprehensive pictorial collection of Gloucestershire’s most glorious towns and villages. The book captures the essence of the Cotswolds from the domesticity of its hamlets to the ancient churches and spectacular manor houses, from the gentler river valleys to the rolling hills and woodlands.”
