Description
This book presents twelve of the richest houses in Britain, each an archetype of its age, and looks at them both as architectural masterpieces and as evidence of the life for which they were built, and together they give a unique overview of the development of British architecture and gardening through six centuries. All the houses belong to the National Trust and are open to the public. Full-color illustrations.
