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.
