From the grand Norman naves and exceptional medieval monuments of Gloucester and Tewkesbury to the Victorian extravagance of Highnam church and the bold simplicity of Randall Wells's Kempley, the Vale of Gloucester is rich in ecclesiastical architecture. But buildings of all types are represented in this volume, including not only notable examples of timber-framed houses but also such eighteenth-century delights as the Gothic orangery at Frampton Court. The county's architecture is as varied as the medieval glories of Berkeley Castle, the Regency splendour of the spa town of Cheltenham, and the Severn Bridge, consummate expression of the engineer's art.

Highgrove, Nether Lypiatt and Gatcombe Park are set only a few miles apart on the south-western edge of the Cotswolds, and in recent times have firmly established Gloucestershire's links with royalty. Yet royal links with the county can be traced back to Saxon times. William I kept Christmas at Gloucester and held his Parliament there, the Forest of Dean was of course a renowned royal hunting ground, while in modern times Queen Mary stayed at Badminton between the two world wars and the Duke of Windsor frequented Tetbury during the 1920s and '30s. This book, first published in 1981 and now extensively updated, traces the history and ownership of the three present-day royal homes - Highgrove, home of The Prince and Princess of Wales, Nether Lypiatt, home of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, and Gatcombe Park, home of The Princess Royal. It includes architectural details and describes the changes that have been made to the properties over the years, as well as looking back on the Gloucestershire worthies, ghosts and distinguished visitors who haunted these relatively modest houses until comparatively recently. The text is complemented by old engravings, historical and architectural illustrations, and new specially commissioned colour photographs by Gloucestershire photographer Paul Felix. This new edition also includes a foreword by Rosemary Verey, who also provides fresh information on the gardens of these royal Gloucestershire homes.
