The English Country House, Paperback / softback Book

The English Country House Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

English country houses represent a time now past, one of power, prestige, wealth and taste, where the privileged lived in luxury, waited on by armies of servants.

This compact yet informative and well-illustrated Pitkin Guide looks at the way these houses evolved, at their heyday and decline, with beautiful photographs of some of the cream of England's great houses.

Look out for more Pitkin Guides on the very best of British history, heritage and travel.
