One only has to travel over the mountains and moors of Lancashire, Yorkshire and Derbyshire to see and feel how well the way of building was adapted to local conditions. The mountains are grand and solitary; while below, the wild loveliness of romantic dales, watered by fast-flowing rivers and streams, is ever alluring. The stone crops out from the mountain sides in huge, craggy masses, and the buildings, of like material, form an integral part of landscape.”
