‘Undeniably, the Buildings of England is a stupendous achievement, unequalled in any other country, and any lover of architecture, pottering around with a volume at his side, must sing a constant Te Deum for its beneficent present publisher Yale.’—Christopher Howse, The Daily Telegraph
‘The Pevsner series is gradually being updated, and Peter Beacham and colleagues have made a splendid job of the Cornish volume. . .the modern scholars, more than the Herr Professor, have conveyed that mysterious thing, a sense of place.’—A.N.Wilson, The Daily Telegraph
‘While revering both Pevsner and Betjeman, what Peter Beacham has done with the latest Cornwall is to perform magic: he has brought the two together. In consequence it’s a wonderful guidebook. . .Yale University Press made an inspired choice in Beacham. Not only is he a lyrical and sometimes funny writer with a true gift for evoking place, but he also cares passionately about architecture and about doing full justice to Cornwall. . .If anyone understands and loves Cornwall, Peter Beacham does.’—Candida Lycett Gree, The Spectator
‘Germanic correctness has been supplanted by something more English, closer to Betjeman’s poetical evocations of standing stones, holy wells and the small fry of fisher cottages, miners’ terraces, tabernacles and windy tamerisk-fringed holiday houses.’—Ruth Guilding, Times Literary Supplement
'Wonderful year for Pevsner, or rather for us who use the guides as we potter about. Four new vols: Bedfordshire, Somerset, Cornwall, Cambridgeshire, too big for the pocket, but a reasonable £35 a kick, thanks to Yale. A triumph of perseverance.'—Christopher Howse, The Spectator
