Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A beautiful coffee table book with lots of photographs of manor houses and their interiors. A bit dissapointing that all the photographs were in black & white and of the interiors most were just of the entrance hall. Note that the book in on English Manor Houses and not Stately Homes.

The architects of the English manor house are many of the great names in the field and displayedhere are examples by Lutyens, Blow, and Blomfield.
