ENGLISH COUNTRY HOUSE (PB)

Ten outstanding British country houses, all still in the hands of the original families. Here are the Cracrofts, Lincolnshire landowners since the 12th century, whose 18th-century Hackthorn Hall might have come from a novel by Jane Austen; Kentchurch Court, formerly a fortified manor house and still home to the Scudamore family after 1000 years; a Strawberry Hill-style Gothic house in Cornwall; the car-crazy Goodwood House - and more. A wealth of gardens, charming interiors, fine art collections and family memorabilia ideal for Anglophiliacs and lovers of country houses.
