500    "A Quintessence book"--T.p. verso. 
504    Includes bibliographical references (pages 278-283) and 
       index. 
520    This engaging and sumptuously illustrated book celebrates 
       the Landmark Trust's achievement in the protection of 
       British heritage since the Trust was established 50 years 
       ago. From a medieval hall house to the winner of the 2013 
       Stirling Prize for Architecture, 50 buildings rescued by 
       Landmark from threatened oblivion are presented here that 
       vividly illustrate the history of Britain from 1250 to the
       present day. Presented in the order in which they were 
       built, the selected buildings include the unusual, the 
       fantastic, the spectacular, the utilitarian and the 
       enchanting, each one offering a fascinating glimpse into 
       the past of the British people. In telling the stories of 
       how the buildings came to be, how they were used and how 
       they were adapted by subsequent generations, this book 
       brings history to life through the evidence in the 
       buildings our ancestors have left behind. Examples include
       a 15th-century inn in Suffolk, an Elizabethan hospital in 
       Yorkshire, a lighthouse on Lundy and an Italianate railway
       station. The Landmark Trust's often heroic rescue of each 
       of these buildings is also placed in the context of the 
       Trust's own evolution to date and the history of British 
       conservation practice. For everyone interested in British 
       history or architecture, this enthralling book will bring 
       fresh insights into both; for everyone interested in 
       buildings conservation, the book will provide an insight 
       into the unique national treasure that is the Landmark 
       Trust.
