Softcover. Condizione: VG. Olive & color illus. wraps, 48 pp., BW illus. "Belsay Castle has been described by one architectura historian as 'beyond question the finest of English tower houses' and this [book] was written and published privately in 1910 by Sir Arhur Middleton, who inherited the title from Sir Charles in 1867 and devoted his life to the estate and its history. It is a beautifully produced book, with ink drawings and plans by the distinguished landscape artist, R. J. S. Bertram, as well as numerous photographs. This first publicly available edition includes a new historical introduction, a gazetteer of architectural terms, previously unpublished drawings by the well-known nineteenth-century antiquarian, William Twopeny, and several watercolours from an album belonging to Lady Mary Monck, Sr. Charles's second wife."
