Farm Buildings
Author: John WoodfordePublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000918874
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
First published in 1983, Farm Buildings gives a fascinating account of what has been happening in and around farm buildings since medieval times, and describes their structure, their function and their style. This is followed by a long section in which sixty-eight representative types of Welsh and English farm buildings are commented on by the author and illustrated by John Penoyre. John Woodforde emphasizes that just as people increasingly enjoy looking at old farm buildings, so too some farmers are coming to appreciate them with a new eye, noting that they possess in their yards assets whose value is greater in several ways than they used to think. This book will be of interest to students of architecture, history and agriculture.
