English Country Churches

by Derry Brabbs

Published 19 September 1985
There are few sights more evocative of England than a small village whose golden stone cottages are dwarfed by an embattled tower, or a great sweep of landscape from which an elegant spire soars above trees and meadows. This book is a celebration of English churches, which despite their basic arrangement of tower, nave, aisles and chancel are so varied in their architecture, regional styles, structural materials, personalities and settings that they present an endless feast, each one combining familiarity with surprise and pleasure.

Landmark

by Derry Brabbs

Published 12 June 1998
This is a collection of photographs of over 100 of the buildings in the care of the Landmark Trust. Each building is a gem, delicately restored and furnished to retain the aura of age and, in many cases, the eccentricity of its origins.

Abbeys and Monasteries

by Derry Brabbs

Published 29 April 1999
Despite Henry VIII's Dissolution, there are still hundreds of surviving monastic buildings in Britain, from forlorn fragments to majestic ruins such as Rievaulx, Lindisfarne and Tintern, many of which are in dramatic landscapes. Some cathedrals and abbeys were monastic foundations, and they still display their Romanesque and medieval architecture and masonry. Through text and colour photographs, this book presents a celebration of the monastic heritage of Britain.
