Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Home Counties Magazine, 1902, Vol. 4: Devoted to the Topography of London, Middlesex, Essex, Herts, Bucks, Berks, Surrey, and Kent The outcome of this was the formation of the Survey Committee. Its purpose was to systematically hunt out, visit, and record by means of photographs, measured architectural drawings, and sketches, as well as by written records, all of historic or architectural interest in a given locality. The work was not to be merely an antiquarian catalogue of what had existed, but a living record of what still remained at the time of the survey. To quote from the last published report: The object of the Committee has been to take up certain areas in London, and in them to register and record with drawings, photographs, and other records, whatever may be deemed to be of historic or aesthetic interest. The work is not confined to buildings only, any valuable open space, any remnant of an old village green, any beautiful tree, any object of local life or custom that may have a definite external embodiment, or any interesting piece of handicraft, even if it be but a signboard or a wrought-iron gate, comes within the Committee´s survey. The aim is to draw attention to these things. If they are in private hands, to get the owners´ consent towards their registration; if under the guardianship of any representative public or semi-public authority, to encourage their maintenance for public purposes as national trusts. So much for the objects of the survey. The method upon which the work has so far been carried out is simple. The area originally undertaken (some thirty parishes in the eastern district of the administrative county of London, together with the portions of Essex adjoining, and included in the area of Greater London) was divided up among the members of the committee. Printed forms were issued containing the headings given below; these being filled up, either independently or in conjunction with the writer, were then classified and collated into the various parishes or districts. The headings are as follow: Parish. Name of place and position. Ground landlord, leaseholders, etc. General description and date of works (to be described in detail). Historical notes or traditions. Condition of repair. Bibliographical references. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
