Opis

Anthony Emery is a leading authority on the medieval houses of England and Wales. A founder Commissioner of English Heritage, former Chairman of Bath Archaeological Trust and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, he has combined a business career with academic research.
His book adopts a radically new approach to the development of houses between the eleventh and sixteenth centuries - from Norman to Tudor times - emphasising how their design evolved in response to political and social influences. More than a thousand medieval houses have survived in England and Wales and a list of those that are open to the public is included in the book. There are numerous illustrations, mostly in colour, throughout the text.
