Salisbury Cathedral: The West Front

With a Foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales. One of the best-known of English cathedrals, Salisbury's West Front is its most elaborate exterior feature yet has been neglected in recent studies of the fabric; a neglect splendidly corrected in this work of multiple authorship, which surveys the detailed history of the front over 750 years. It is founded upon five years of investigation, as part of a conservation programme, and it will be of great interest to those with an affection for the Cathedral and to the student of architecture. The book also makes a major contribution to the literature of cathedral repair and conservation.
