This highly praised series of eight films on eight centuries of British architecture was first shown in 1975 as part of the BBC's contribution to European Architectural Heritage Year.
Written and narrated by Alec Clifton-Taylor
This country has more surviving medieval buildings than almost any other in Europe, from timber-framed cottages to huge castles, from remote parish churches to the great cathedrals. Starting from the raw materials, wood, brick and stone, Alec Clifton-Taylor examines the spectacular achievements of the medieval builders against the background of their world.
