Followed by English Towns
Saffron Walden , Essex. In this friendly little town on the border of East Anglia, brick, tile and timber-frame predominates. Apart from the flint of the church, stone only makes its appearance at the nearby mansion of Audley
End, completed in 1621. 'For the grandee who built this prestigious house, it just had to be limestone and nothing else. A colossal piece of extravagance.' Today, Saffron Walden is a town with too many pollarded trees and too much traffic.
