Authored by Francis Woodman, the book delves into various aspects, including structure, style, finance, and patronage, to present a detailed understanding of the organization and mechanics of the structural campaigns that spanned over seventy years.

Additionally, the book provides the first comprehensive analysis of Tudor building accounts, which hold immense significance in the study of mediaeval architectural history.

This book is an essential resource for scholars and researchers interested in British architecture and architectural history. It offers valuable insights into the architectural developments of the period and contributes to our understanding of the rich cultural heritage of England.
