A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Part of a series of three books and drawing on archive material and personal anecdote, Stately Living gives a first-hand insight into how life in Britain s historic houses has changed over the centuries. Illustrated throughout this book features evocative black and white images, full colour photographs and delightful line drawings. Written in collaboration with members of the Historic Houses Association this lively book celebrates how the same sense of determination and enterprise that inspired the creation of these magnificent houses is now directed to using them as the focus for a range of businesses. With declining agricultural incomes and soaring maintenance costs, many families have to rely on a large measure of ingenuity and a small number of dedicated staff to ensure the conservation and survival of their historic home.

Revue de presse

'... excellent material for both British and overseas visitors who flock to our shores to see our unequalled wealth of magnificent houses... celebrating the same determination and enterprise that inspired the creation of these houses but which is now directed to using them as the focus for a range of businesses. These excellent books provide an historical, easy to read, look at former times in our stately homes and how they have moved and progressed to what we see and experience today.' --Yeovil Express, 8th August 2007
