About This Book

A concise history traces the evolution of English domestic architecture from medieval keeps and fortified manor houses through Tudor and Elizabethan symmetry and Renaissance influences to Palladian and later eighteenth-century interiors. It describes structural forms — keeps, halls, and manor plans — and details such as doorways, windows, fireplaces, chimneys, roofs, ceilings and staircases; examines shifts in planning, ornament, and the role of amateur patrons; and surveys exteriors and interiors across successive periods. The text is illustrated and supplemented by a chronological list of buildings, a glossary, and a brief bibliography for further study.

CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF CASTLES AND HOUSES.

The list includes those mentioned in the text, together with a few others of note. It is not always possible to date houses accurately; a margin of a few years must usually be allowed. Where dates are given they either appear on the houses, or can be approximately ascertained. The Index to Illustrations shows which buildings are illustrated or referred to.
