Description: "The English House reviews the changes in style that can be seen in domestic architecture in this country from Norman times to the present day. Written for the interested layman rather than only for the architectural historian, it is how the house and its rooms were used and the way in which owners past and present lived in these properties which is the main burden of the argument." "The book covers the thousand years from AD 1000 to 2000. The main characteristics of the houses within each period are analysed and examples discussed and illustrated, concentrating both on well-known and less familiar structures."--Jacket.
