"Ancient Streets and Homesteads of England" by Alfred Rimmer is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the architectural heritage of England's towns and villages, focusing on ancient street designs and homesteads that encapsulate the country's history and culture. With a strong emphasis on preservation, Rimmer highlights the beauty and historical significance of lesser-known buildings and streets that often go unnoticed. At the start of the book, Rimmer discusses the importance of "minor monumental history," referring to the forgotten architectural treasures of England that reflect its rich past. The author hints at the gradual erosion of this heritage through modern development and expresses concern for the preservation of these historical sites. Through detailed commentary and illustrations, Rimmer introduces readers to various towns, beginning with Chester, where he describes its unique street architecture, including the famous Rows, and shares anecdotes connecting these structures to pivotal moments in England's history. He not only aims to document these architectural features but also encourages readers to appreciate the stories and aesthetic qualities of England's historic spaces.
