This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...The timbers as they get nearer the top of the buildings are filled in with the geometrical patterns, like those in the gable at Prestbury (page 67). The large spaces between some of the timbers is generally an alteration or restoration filled in with brick. The illustrations of the cottages at Alderley Edge, Prestbury, and Sandbach (pages 65 and 67) are all typical of the elaborate patterning. Directly Shropshire is approached, the timbering becomes less playful and more in vertical and horizontal lines--as, for instance, at Craven Arms (page 73).

An interesting detail noticeable in the chimney of this cottage is the drip in stepped brick, a common enough detail in Worcestershire and Warwickshire. In Herefordshire and Shropshire the timbers are not so close together, nor is there the same tendency to run to pattern as in Cheshire. Many of the cottages, in fact, have a near relationship to those in the South-Eastern counties, although generally the construction is much in advance of the majority in Kent or Surrey. This superiority was due to two reasons, first, to the fact that, unlike Kent and Surrey, where bricks and tiles were used as much as wood, in Cheshire, Shropshire and Herefordshire wood was the chief material; and, secondly, to the influence of that remarkable man John Abel, the carpenter-architect of Hereford.
