CATHERINE GORDON undertook a survey of the Arts and Crafts buildings in the Cotswolds, the results of which were published as a gazetteer in conjunction with Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museums and formed the subject of her PhD thesis. She works as an historic building consultant and has contributed to various publications, including a history of Chipping Campden and a history of the Earls of Coventry and the Croome estate. She spends much of her spare time in the Cotswolds and this book represents a reappraisal of a favourite subject and a welcome return to familiar places.
