Description:PRE-ISBNFrom the inside-front of the dustwrapper:“ Farming has always been and still is England’s largest industry. This book is an account of the houses in which English farmers have lived, from medieval times to the end of the last century [C19th], and of the surrounding buildings, particularly the barns, dovecotes and stables.Too often the farm is regarded by the townsman as a vague feature of the landscape. It is the great merit of this book that, avoiding the general, it shows what English farms have been like at particular moments in time and in particular localities. What, for example, the Roman agricultural “villa” was like; how very different was the medieval farm and how active a part was played in farming by the monks of the Middle Ages; how Tudor and Stuart farms were constructed and laid out; and what in succeeding centuries, distinguished the North Country farmhouses from those of East Anglia, the Cotswold type from that of the West and the Midlands. Finally the author shows how a greater degree of uniformity came to the appearance of the farmhouse in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries with the publication of the numerous pattern books of Georgian Regency and Victorian times.The book is decorated and illustrated by a collection of some 150 photographs and prints, and by the author’s own drawings. Barns, dovecotes and farmhouses from every locality and age will be found amongst them. ”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
