About the Item

Manor Houses of England by Hugh Montgomery-Massingberd and Christopher Simon Sykes. Published by Vendome Press, 2001. 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket. 256 pp. with 300 color illus. These smaller scale houses, often of more ancient origin than the "great houses," are scattered all around the country, and range from simple Norman halls to picturesque Tudor manor houses and handsome buildings from the reign of the Stuarts. This is domestic architecture, rather than palaces built to impress the visitor with their owners' power and wealth, and as such they are far more closely related to modern life. Not only is this book redolent in history, but it will suggest architectural and decorative ideas to those building a traditional home. While most of the great houses have now been sold by their original owners, most of the manor houses are still privately owned and lived in as a home. This book covers 40 manor houses in all, each one is beautifully illustrated by specially commissioned photographs and accompanied by a readable text that describes the families that created these marvelous houses. Full of history, architectural ideas and decorative details. Includes a list of the houses, an introductory essay, and a helpful glossary of terms. NPT Books, a division of Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
