How To Read An Ancient Building
Janina Ramirez, Andrew Ziminski & Daniel Wilson
Join master stonemason and bestselling author Andrew Ziminski, online sensation Daniel Wilson (@greatbritisharchitecture) and bestselling historian Janina Ramirez, author of Legenda, in the splendour of Cirencester’s twelfth century Parish Church for a fascinating, practical guide to reading the secrets hidden in Britain’s ancient architecture. From the grand buttresses of a medieval castle to the weathered gargoyles of a country church, discover how to spot the physical tool-marks of long-dead masons, decipher ancient graffiti, and better understand the delicate, urgent craft of restoring these priceless monuments for future generations. You’ll never look at the world around you the same way again!
