Books
Used in the British Isles since its twelfth-century reintroduction into England from the continent, brick remains the most versatile of all building materials, standing as testament to the often-sublime skills employed in its use for construction. Yet, despite growing interest in historic buildings and the need to conserve them, many remain under threat from the ravages of poor practice and modern inappropriate materials. 'Traditional Brickwork' is an informative guide to working with traditional brick. Based on the author's hands-on experience, it explains the manufacture and use of brick in England, revealing its characteristics and vulnerabilities. It also examines the survival of traditional brickwork and the practical methods to assess, construct, repair and maintain it, together with the necessary tools and materials.
