Henbury Hall in Cheshire was described by the diarist James
Lees-Milne in 1990 as "stupendous...the whole house is a triumph".
This elegant house, built in the 1980s, rises from the rolling
contours of it ancient parkland as a Palladian masterpiece of
symmetry, elegance and simplicity. Full of intriguing historic
references, its form both venerable and familiar, it is unique in
the story of late-twentieth-century British architecture. Henbury:
An Extraordinary House tells the story of how the house came to be
created by Sebastian de Ferranti (1927-2015), drawing on the
Palldian tradition and the "ministry of all the talents" he brought
together - including painter Felix Kelly, architect Julian
Bicknell, interior decorator David Mlinaric and a host of talented
and skilled artists and craftsmen. This book, written by celebrated
architectural historian Jeremy Musson and including more than 250
superb photographs, is the complementary vision of Sebastian de
Ferranti's widow Gilly de Ferranti, her tribute to her husband's
creation, and as beautiful and inspiring a book as Henbury Hall is
a house.
