Discover the extraordinary stories written into Britain’s historic buildings – and the people, power and ideas that shaped them with Daniel Wilson, historian and online history and architecture content creator (@greatbritisharchitecture).
Daniel produces short-form videos that delve into the architectural curiosities and lesser-known heritage sites of Great Britain. He fell in love with historic buildings, their powerful stories, and their charming oddities while studying at the University of St Andrews. He is a young and exciting new voice celebrating British architecture.
Including a number of buildings in the Rossiter Books region, Daniel’s book includes Leominster Priory, Dore Abbey, St John the Evangelist Shobdon, St Michael’s Garway, and Tintern Abbey.
Great British Architecture:
From time-worn ruins and cathedrals to tucked-away country churches and elegant stately homes, Britain is full of genuinely incredible – but often surprisingly overlooked – historic buildings.
Laden with character, style and deep layers of heritage, these structures each represent something unique: they are the bearers of natural history, examples of our curious mish mash of architectural styles and monuments to civic pride, power and creativity.
Each of their stones tells a remarkable story.
Great British Architecture brings together the stories behind 86 great buildings from across the nation and, with illustrations throughout, celebrates their beauty, charm and national significance. The book is published by Frances Lincoln on 8th October RRP £15.99 (£3 off the book at the event one ticket per book) and is perfect for fans of Andrew Ziminski and Luke Sherlock.
