{"product_id":"bishop-auckland-clare-howard-9781802078381","title":"Bishop Auckland: The Growth of a Historic Market Town","description":"Nestled within the rolling hills and tree-filled landscape of Weardale, Bishop Auckland is an attractive market town with a rich collection of buildings dating from many centuries and an archaeological legacy spanning two millennia. This is a place shaped by the power of the bishops of Durham, who held their main residence at the splendid Auckland Castle, and by the fluctuating prospects of commerce and industry - all very much celebrated in the unique character of its buildings and open spaces. This book brings together recent research into the town's archaeology, history and architecture. It tells the story of the establishment of the bishops' palace strategically placed upon a hilltop plateau, and of the market place and settlement which grew alongside it to become a thriving industrial town. Now set to become an exciting visitor destination centred around the historic core, Bishop Auckland is ready to begin its next chapter and you are invited to explore and celebrate what makes this important town so special.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clare Howard, Jayne Rimmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 180207838X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781802078381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Historic England\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 8.60w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClare Howard is an Architectural Investigator at Historic England and a member of the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJayne Rimmer is an Architectural Investigator at Historic England and a member of the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJules Brown is a Historic Places Adviser at Historic England and a member of the Royal Town Planning Institute. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJayne Rimmer is an Architectural Investigator at Historic England and a member of the Chartered Jules Brown is a Historic Places Adviser at Historic England and a member of the Royal Town Planning Institute.Institute for Archaeologists","brand":"Clare Howard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45180533965055,"sku":"9781802078381","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d0b72c5-53af-4fcb-80a1-57e0d11f19c7.jpg?v=1712898117","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bishop-auckland-clare-howard-9781802078381","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
