About the Author :
John Claudius Loudon, born in 1783, was one of those early nineteenth century Titans for whom work was a hobby, or an obsession. Largely self-educated, he was primarily a horticulturist and landscape gardener, producing encyclopaedias on Gardening, Agriculture and Plants before he began one on Architecture in 1832 which was published in 1833.

Review :
Above all, this work is an exciting adventure into architectural history. Well-illustrated, it is both nostalgic and invigorating, a pleasure to read. Architects' Journal Apart from being of immense historical interest, the amount of technical information included makes the book an important central point of reference for all those concerned with conservation works covering this period. Construction History Society Newsletter Its subject matter is vast, and provides an invaluable insight into not only the stylistic diversity of a wide range of contemporary architects - from Charles Barry to the Rogue Goth of the Anglican Revival, E. B. Lamb - but also the contemporary planning requirements for estate cottages, inns, farmsteads, villas and country houses and their fittings and furniture - from potato washers and water filters to card tables. The reader can also gain insights into contemporary building practice, form the use of clay lump in Suffolk to the cast-iron 'Belper window' employed by the Strutts on their Derbyshire mills and estates. Such was the popularity of the Encyclopaedia that many an architect, speculative builder or owner reaches to Loudon for inspiration. English Heritage Conservation Bulletin A remarkable work of reference of rural domestic and farming buildings in the mid-nineteenth century. I found it so fascinating that it was difficult to put down . - an endless source of interest and amusement. On the level - RICS Wessex branch
