This early work is a delightful and informing book, full of interest to architects, designers and historians. Intended as a guide with which to walk around English country houses it is recommended for inclusion on any National Trust members bookshelf. Contents Include: Foreword by Osbert Sitwell, Acknowledgment, Introductory, The English Vernacular (Circa 1066 to 1550), The Rise of the Architect (Circa 1550 to 1720), The Cult of the Antique (Circa 1720 to 1850), The Garden, and an Index. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
