'A hymn to good architecture, an ode to authentic domestic interiors ...buy, beg, borrow or steal a copy to keep in the car. No other book (apart from his "1,000 Churches") will prompt so many joyous detours' -Christopher Hudson, "Daily Mail". England's houses are a treasure trove of riches and a unique, living record of the nation's history. Simon Jenkins' magnificent guide selects the finest palaces, mansions, halls, castles and cottages throughout the land, from the stately to the humble, in a glorious celebration of English life.
