Book Description
Ireland in Brick and Stone takes 50 buildings and other man-made constructions from different parts of Ireland and uses them to illustrate the history of the island over 1,500 years. All but three of the buildings are still surviving and they offer us a very personal way into history by teasing out the context in which the building was constructed, the uses to which it was put and the people associated with it. Liberally illustrated with evocative photographs this is a quirky and accessible take on Irish history.
