The Stately Homes of England
The Stately Homes of England, by the antiquary Llewellynn Jewitt and the writer S. C. Hall, is a tour of the great country houses of England, complete in two series. Each chapter visits one house: among them Chatsworth, Haddon Hall and Hardwick in Derbyshire, Alnwick and Warwick Castles, Arundel, Penshurst, Hatfield, Knole, Castle Howard, Wilton, Belvoir, Hever and Audley End. The authors describe the architecture, the rooms and their treasures, the gardens and parks, and above all the histories of the families who built and lived in them, with many anecdotes. Illustrated with hundreds of wood engravings, it is a Victorian celebration of aristocratic heritage. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
