The English House by John Steel
Reviews the changes in style that can be seen in domestic architecture in England since Norman times. Written for the interested layman rather than only for the architectural historian, this book is about how the house and its rooms were used and the way in which owners lived in these properties which is the main burden of the argument.
John Steel (1934-1998) was one of the founders of the Antique Collectors' Club, retiring in 1992. He spent twenty years working on The English House, passionately practising what he preached by retoring three Suffolk houses over thirty years. Michael Wright was editor of Country Life magazine for eleven years, writing regularly on architecture, conservation and the fine arts. He has been Chairman of the Highgate Society, in north London, of the Friends of Bristol Art Gallery, and of the Lutyens Trust. He has contributed many articles to Country Life, to the Town Planning Institute Journal and to Homes and Gardens.
