Barbara Jones

After looking at the book "Recording Britain", I found out that Jones' approach to recording Britain was that, "England was a place of follies, excessive ornamentation and Gothic neglect." (pg 34)

pg 41: Barbara Jones' painting of the Hop Castle, Chieveley, Berkshire, 1940

Extract from same pg: "This is another example of the modest but fantastic architecture which is so quintessentially British and yet so rarely considered worth recording. Jones made a particular study of such neglected architectural conceits for 'Recording Britain'"

She published an illustrated History of this topic called, "Follies and Grottoes" (1953). I may look at this book for further research.
