“[A] splendid new edition of Pevsner’s architectural guide to Dorset.”—Christopher Howse, Daily TelegraphMichael Hill is “the excellent and thoughtful reviser” – Roger White, Country Life“As usual, YUP have produced a high quality book, which should stand up to the frequent usage to which these volumes are often put, whether it be in the hand or in the backpack [. . .] In summary, this is another excellent volume in this remarkable series. Any reader planning to visit or residing in Dorset will obviously want to have a copy” —Graham Kent, Transactions of the Ancient Monuments“It is almost needless to say that this new edition is an essential requirement for anyone visiting Dorset.
