Title: Manor Houses of Great Britain, Volume One
Description: Little evidence of everyday life in Britain during the Middle Ages has survived, with the exception of the manor house. Today there are perhaps some 300 examples of this type of late medieval country house throughout the country, many of which have evolved from the ancient ‘aisled hall’. The selection of 30 properties contained in this volume have been well preserved, and many will be familiar even if not previously considered a ‘manor house’ in the strictest sense. Each article comprises a colour photograph, an historical overview, and an information panel containing opening times, grid reference, address, telephone number, and web site details (where applicable)NB - The 'Adobe Reader' version of this title is not suitable for use with 'Adobe Reader for PalmOS'.
