Southern England

En savoir plus sur le livre

Britain has more historic houses, great and small, that are open to the public than anywhere else in the world. Stately homes, ruined castles and abbeys, merchants' mansions, peasant cottages - the stories of such buildings and their occupants, past and present, add up to an extraordinary record of our history.Author Simon Jenkins is a leading writer on this rich heritage. Here we present his vision of the 83 most impressive or interesting dwellings to be seen in Dorset, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and Wiltshire - from majestic Kingston Lacy to Jane Austen's house in Chawton, from the eclectic royal palace of Osborne House to the Palladian Wilton House - enhanced with photographs selected by the editors of Reader's Digest.
