The historic counties of Montgomeryshire, Radnorshire, and Breconshire are described in this final volume of the Buildings of Wales series, expanded and revised from the first edition of 1979. Prehistoric hill-forts and standing stones, Roman encampments, Early Christian monuments, ruined castles and the enigmatic remains of early industry enhance the landscapes of this wild and beautiful region. Atmospheric medieval churches survive in quantity, together with diverse Nonconformist chapels. Vernacular traditions are represented by robust medieval cruck-framed houses, and by the manor houses and farmhouses of the Tudors and Stuarts. Other highlights include Montgomery, with its beguiling Georgian heritage, the Victorian spa at Llandrindod Wells, and Powis Castle, with its Baroque interiors and terraced gardens.… (plus d'informations)

Since this is the first volume of The Buildings of Wales, a few prefatory remarks on the contents and arrangement may be helpful.
Foreword.
The prehistory of Powys is difficult to categorize; like the countryside itself the material remains are subtle and elusive, and the picture is neither clear nor complete.
Prehistoric and Roman remains, by Frances Lynch.
Powys is a region of the happy mean - not so rich as Clwyd to the N or so wild ar Gwynedd to the NW, so remote as Dyfed to the SW or so industrialized as the Glamorgans to the S or as Gwent to the SE.
Introduction.
The most comprehensive source for monuments of all kinds in Wales is Archaeologica Cambrensis, published from 1846 by the Cambrian Archaeological Association; there are indexes for 1846-1900 and 1901-1960.
