Publisher's Synopsis
Take a trip around England to discover some 101 of our finest houses to visit. Packed full of beautiful photographs, there are houses where history has been made, houses with exquisite collections, furniture and decoration, houses with stunning gardens, castles that have been at the centre of battles. There are grand houses - you can step inside the real "Downton Abbey", explore the real "Brideshead" or see the infamous lake where Mr Darcy took a dip in Pride and Prejudice. We also feature more modest houses - see where Victorian polymath John Ruskin lived and worked, visit Winston Churchill's beloved Chartwell, step inside Sir John Soane's treasure filled London home. We have stately homes and castles with great historic stories to tell. Some of these impressive houses showcase England's finest architecture, some showcase world class art and antiques. There are splendid royal residences, plus quirky smaller places that tell a fascinating story. Split into regions, there's a mix of long-form features telling the story of eccentric or world beating owners and listings-length write ups and everything in between. Each house is accompanied with beautiful pictures and contact details. The bookazine guides you to the best historic houses in each region in 128 glossy pages.
