As readers of the Post will know, in our view there is a huge synergy between neglected books and neglected buildings. This is why we reprinted The Sack of Bath and this is why buildings appear so often on the Post. This week, five buildings highlighted by the SPAB (Society for the Preservation of Ancient Buildings) that need rescuing, you might almost say reprinting, in any case restoring, bringing back to life. First a Grade II Iisted house in Buckinghamshire which dates from the 17th century and is in 'a sadly dilapidated condition'. What a rescue project this would be! The house is £275,000 which is not too bad but of course the main cost would be restoring it to a livable condition. Details from the estate agent here.
