Publisher's Synopsis
The latest volume in the Buildings of Wales series provides a fascinating account of the many fine buildings in Gwent/Monmouthshire, from the stunning medieval castles of Chepstow and Raglan, the evocative ruins of Tintern Abbey and the lonely beauty of Llanthony Priory to the most exciting twentieth century architecture anywhere in Wales. As with all Pevsner Architectural Guides attention is given to numerous fine parish churches and country houses. A special strength of this Welsh volume is the exploration of Gwent's s distinctive legacy of great castles, vernacular buildings, industrial sites and Victorian chapels.
