Books by Joy Hancox

Joy Hancox, an Associate of the Royal College of Music, gave up her work in education to complete her research into the work of John Byrom. Her first book, The Byrom Collection, tells how she discovered the 516 remarkable architictrual and atheatical drawings which Byrom once held in the cherished posession of the Cabala Club which he formed in London in 1725. Among them were the original plans for the first Globe theatre, the Rose and five other Elizabethan playhouses. The book was highly praised as a work of scholarly detection.
