Romantic English Homes is an inspirational collection of
truly timeless houses. Robert O'Byrne has gathered together
a collection of some of England’s most glorious homes including a
rural farmhouse set in a quietly picturesque village and a
fourteenth-century folly. Ever since the English aristocracy
embarked on a Grand Tour in the seventeenth century, the passion
for developing collections has been a national trait of England. As
a result, the country’s aristocratic palaces became repositories
of treasure gathered from around the globe. But so too, thanks to
the spread of an Empire providing goods from across the globe, did
almost every residence in England. Romantic English Homes features
14 such houses. Large or small, old or new, they all convey an
impression of massed objects intentionally mingling styles and
tastes, the classical placed next to the gothic, tartan pattern
competing with floral print. Decorated with defiant eclecticism,
the buildings featured here indicate that although the Empire may
have gone, the English love of collecting remains as strong as
ever. Criss-crossing the country, from Dorset, Devon and Cornwall
to East Anglia and Suffolk, from London to Staffordshire and
Northumberland, it is both the romantic timelessness of these
properties and their many-layered appearance that makes them so
alluring.
