A Local Phenomenon: An Analysis of Regular Architecture in the Localities of England 1660-1770.

This thesis explores the use and development of Regular Architecture in Warwick, Bath, Blandford Forum and Berwick upon Tweed. Using the works of Peter Borsay as a starting point, the research focuses upon whether the use of Regular Architecture throughout England can, and should, be viewed as a singular phenomenon rather than a set of localised transitions. The study works through each settlement in turn examining respective architects as well as broader aspects of town planning, architectural stimuli and emerging trends.
