To view a building, whether a village church or a farmhouse, as a piece of architecture is to see it in three dimensions - length, width and height: but to know its history as well is to add a fourth dimension: we look beneath its surface back into the past life it has known and sheltered and see it as others have seen it before us and as they will see it after us.
