Publisher's Synopsis
Now in its fourth fully revised and updated edition, this manual describes and illustrates every aspect of conservation work and should interest those responsible for the care and upkeep of a stone-built 18th-century building (including architects, builders, conservators and owners of Georgian houses), or with our architectural heritage. The substructure, external walls, roofs, internal details and external works of a Georgian house are studied and explained in detail, and an entirely new section on decoration and finishes has been added. This edition provides more technical information than previous editions and places greater emphasis on interiors.
