This volume sheds light on the pride of the region - the great medieval churches of York Minster, the Minster and St Mary at Beverley, and Holy Trinity, Hull but also on less well known architectural pleasures of town and county.

Outstanding Victorian village churches, including masterpieces by Street & Pearson, are as rewarding as the major country houses of Burton Agnes, Burton Constable and Sledmere.

The countryside offes a wide range of monuments, from the beautifully sited ruins of Kirkham Priory to the spectacular Humber Bridge.

Farmhouses and cottages of the Wolds, picturesque estate villages and chapels, and industrial structures are all brought into focus.

A large section is devoted to York and includes a survey of the historic buildings of the city centre from the Roman period onwards.

This is complemented by a detailed exploration of York's eighteenth and nineteenth-century suburbs.

Equal care has been applied to the descriptions of Beverley, with its attractive townscape, and the port of Hull, where unexpected highlights include seventeenth-century merchant houses, Georgian almshouses, ornate Victorian pubs, and grand Edwardian public buildings.
