About this product

Product Information

From the stark drama of the Yorkshire Dales to the rich, warm limestone villages of the Cotswolds, Richard Turpin's camera captures the very essence of the quintessential English village as it has unfolded and developed over the centuries. Cottages, churches, village greens, markets, pub signs and the English love of gardening all play their part in this photographic journey which reflects the glory and diversity of village architecture and the rural landscapes that surround it. Villages of England is organised under subject headings that encapsulate different facets of English village life, rather than on a strictly geographical basis. Chapters include: `Waterside Villages', `Industrial Villages', `The Village Church' and `Timber, Clay & Stone'. Author Roger Hunt writes knowledgeably about the development of the English village as moulded by centuries of politics, laws, disease, conflict and changes in lifestyle, living standards and economics.

  • Ok, but don’t expect too much

    The quality of images are very poor compared to these of modern books. The book is really boring. The views that were chosen by author - are not really interesting. Yes, a lot of green, but that’s it. You can find more beautiful photographs in the magazines these days or even on social media. England is so beautiful and different when this book is just a collection of random nothing special photos. I wouldn’t recommend this book, as for me it has no visual value at all, but perhaps I’m just spoiled with really good photographs and books.
