ArchitectureWeek Description
An exceptional example of 15th-century collegiate architecture--Chetham’s School and Library is the best preserved building of its date and type in England. Miraculously surviving war and dilapidation, the building was converted in the 17th century for use as Humphrey Chetham’s charity school and free public library. This illustrated book is the first comprehensive study of the Chetham’s building and its history. It offers new insights into a little-studied building type, and provides many details of the 17th-century conversion drawn from original documents describing how the building was adapted.
