A History of Country House Visiting by Adrian Tinniswood
For more than five centuries the historic buildings of England have opened their doors inviting the tourists to step inside and engage in exploration and discovery. This book examines how the owners of historic buildings have adapted to the steadily growing influx of visitors and how the idea of a national heritage takes its place in modern society.
