He did the photography and design for the official guide to King's College Chapel. [6] For a period spanning several years he produced prospectuses for many Cambridge colleges and independent schools in south-east England.[ citation needed ]
In 2005 he published the book Cambridge (Frances Lincoln). [7] In his review in CAM, the university magazine, Peter Richards [8] wrote: "At the heart of the book lies a fascinating exploration of seven hundred years of University architecture . . . This is, quite simply, the best introduction to Cambridge ever published." [9]
The Howard Foundation commissioned Rawle to be the author and photographer of a new book on Downing College published in 2015 and described by the Georgian as a "well-researched architectural history" with "exceptional photographs". [10]
