The commanding bulk of King Henry VIII in his full regalia, and
Queen Elizabeth I with her fiery red hair, are mighty royal figures
who still hold our fascination over four hundred years on. The
Tudor period they dominated is still personified by the houses that
remain standing in England's towns and villages. Black and white
timber framed buildings 'jettying' out between more recent bland
structures, and rambling rows of quaint cottages around a green;
these are as much the iconic image of England as that of the
monarchs themselves. This book sets out to explain the rich range
of houses built during the Tudor period. It is divided into five
sections, looking firstly at the general changes in society and how
they affected the housing of the period. The second section
explains the structure of the houses and the different materials
used. There is a chapter on the styles of timber frame, brick, and
stone houses, together with dating details. There is a section on
interiors, with information about original features, and finally
some details about the gardens and landscapes that surrounded the
larger Tudor homes. There is also a Glossary, and a Quick Reference
Guide that helps to identify the use of Tudor styles in houses of
the Victorian and more modern eras.
