From The Crown to Downton Abbey, the country house speaks to our
fantasies of rustic splendour, style, and escape. Featuring three
hundred photos from the National Trust, this lavish book draws back
the curtain on the finest and most important historic homes in
England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, revealing these great
houses' intriguing pasts, grand interiors, and vi-brant
reinventions for the enjoyment of modern-day visitors, residents,
and armchair travellers. Locations include Knole, Cragside, Castle
Howard, Chatsworth, Polesden Lacey, Petworth, Castle Bodiam,
Blenheim, Longleat, and dozens more. Illuminating essays by country
house expert Jeremy Musson, legendary British author and historian
David Cannadine, and contributing writers and scholars provide
unique insight into centuries of life in a historic home. This is a
rich visual resource for lovers of sumptuous interiors on a human
scale, as well as grand exterior architecture and gorgeous
landscapes. For Anglophiles, royals watchers, and lovers of the
country house lifestyle, architecture, and interior design, this is
a magnificent new look at landmark British country houses, the
treasures they contain, and how they speak to our fantasies of
rustic splendour and escape today.
