Summary

An English manor house represents an architectural ideal. For generations it has embodied civilized taste. These houses have formed a core part ofCountry Lifefeatures over the decades and this book contains fantastic photography of them. Here are Cranborne, Canons Ashby, and Chastleton which are houses of timeless charm and tranquility. There are also many houses that fell upon hard times only to rise again, such as Sissinghurst and Hidcote. The architects of the English manor house are many of the great names in the field and here are examples by Lutyens, Blow, and Blomfield. The book is a magnificent reminder of the architectural glory of the English manor house and charts the evolution of their different styles. There are more than 200 images beautifully produced in duotone which conjure up the era of the manor house.
