The story begins in the twelfth century with the earliest surviving stone structures and moves on to discuss Kent's sturdy timber-framed houses, the product of the legendary wealth of its famed yeomen....Chapters on the builders, the materials they used and the historical development of their houses up to the present day are followed by a Gazetteer which puts the buildings into a village-by-village context from Acrise to Yalding....[This book] will be a treasure trove for lovers of the county, a first-class work of reference for students and practising architects and a must for architectural historians."
