Country houses were grand statements of power and status, but they
were also places where people lived. This book traces the changes
in layout, the new technologies, and the innovations in furniture
that made them more convenient and comfortable. It argues that
these material changes were just one aspect of comfort in the
country house: feeling comfortable was just as important as being
comfortable. Achieving this involved the comfort and solace to be
found in daily routines, religious faith and, above all,
relationships with family and friends. Such emotional comforts, and
the attachment to things and places that embodied and memorialized
them, made country houses into homes.
