English Homes provides an unparalleled record of grand domestic architecture from the Norman invasion to the beginning of the Regency period (1066-1820). Tipping was able to draw on the resources of Country Life, which held a unique visual record of British architecture, including illustrations of furnished interiors. Many of the buildings recorded here have been destroyed. Probably on account of WWII, no volume II's were ever published for Periods V & VI.
Comprising:
Period I - Vol. I: Norman and Plantagenet (1066-1485), second edition, 1929.
Period II - Vol. I: Early Tudor (1485-1558).
Periods 1. & II. Volume II. Mediaeval & Early Tudor.
Period. III - Vol. I: Late Tudor and Early Stuart (1558-1649), second edition, 1929.
Period III - Vol. II: Late Tudor and Early Stuart (1558-1649).
