| Sumario: | The ancient churches and cathedrals of England's towns and countryside are among the glories of our national heritage. Yet how were our ancestors able to construct these often substantial edifices without the benefit of modern techniques? How did the medieval masons plan, design and oversee their construction?

Sharpe brings forty years experience of caring for historic buildings to show us how, from the original planning and preparation. |
