Summary:

"Royal buildings. From the middle ages onwards, the history of English architecture has been bound up with that of the Office of the King's Works which built and maintained the royal residences. These 41 pictures trace the changing styles of royal palaces, castles and pavilions—including several schemes that no monarch succeeded in having built! Among the many architects who worked for English kings appear great names like those of Talman, Wren, Chambers, Adam, Nash and Lutyens." -- Publisher.
