Kent: North East and East Pevsner Architectural Guide

The exceptionally rich architecture of eastern Kent is covered by this fully revised, updated and expanded edition of John Newman`s classic survey, first published in 1969. This city of Canterbury is the county`s greatest treasure, and its glorious cathedral is the first mature example of Gothic architecture in England. The influence of Canterbury appears also in the remains of St Augustine`s seventh-century mission churches, and in sophisticated Norman carved work at churches such as Barfrestone. Kent is also a maritime county, and its coastal towns are excitingly diverse: the royal stronghold of Dover with its mighty medieval castle; the medieval port of Sandwich; and resorts large and small, from genteel Folkestone to lively Margate, with its bold new art gallery.
