Description

The houses covered here come with spectacular mansions such as Petworth House and Waddesdon Manor, and more lowly dwellings such as the Birmingham Back to Backs and estate villages like Blaise Hamlet, close to Bristol. The book also covers buildings as diverse as churches, windmills, dovecotes, castles, follies, barns or even pubs. Each period of the rustic’s architectural history is roofed, from the medieval stronghold of Bodiam Castle to the clean-lined Modernism of The Homewood. The book teems with stories of the individuals who lived and worked in these buildings: rich collectors (Charles Wade at Snowshill), captains of industry (William Armstrong at Cragside), prime ministers (Winston Churchill at Chartwell) and pop stars (John Lennon at Mendips). That is an very important guide to the built heritage of England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
