Lavishly illustrated account of forty magnificent country houses,
destroyed in the last century. The Lost Country Houses of Suffolk,
well-researched and written and copiously illustrated, will help
the reader to imagine the county's landscape refurnished with the
many elegant mansions which are now sadly lost. JOHN BLATCHLY
During the twentieth century some forty of Suffolk's finest country
houses vanished forever, a few by fire, but more frequently through
demolition, either because uneconomic to run, or through the
deterioration oftheir fabric. This book relates their tragic
stories, with lavish use of engravings, images and pictures to
bring to life what has now gone forever. It offers an account of
each house [its history, its family, its architect], with a
description of the buildings, and particular information on how it
came to be destroyed. The houses are put into their wider context
by an introductory section, covering the economic and social
circumstances which caused difficulties for the owners of country
houses at the time, and comparing the loss in Suffolk with losses
in England as a whole. Houses covered: Acton Place, Assington Hall,
Barking Hall, Barton Hall, Boulge Hall, Bramford Hall, Branches
Park, Bredfield House, Brome Hall, Campsea Ashe High House, Carlton
Hall, Cavenham Hall, Chediston Hall, Downham Hall, Drinkstone Park,
Easton Park, Edwardstone Hall, Flixton Hall, Fornham Hall, Hardwick
House, HenhamHall, Hobland Hall, Holton Hall, Hunston Hall,
