In which I show off a few of the books I received for Christmas: Part One.
A history of the evolution of the British country house, from Roman times to the present. I love this cover (and it‘s illustrated 👍).

Adverts for books 😍😍
This wasn't exactly what I thought it was going to be - the history was approached from an architectural perspective rather than the running of - but I still enjoyed it. At times it got a little bogged down in names & esoteric terms, but it avoided being impenetrably academic. Impeccably researched, it covered the development of the country house right up to the present day. Photos were lovely, would've loved more.
