English Farmhouses

In this superbly illustrated book, R.J. Brown examines the changing role of the traditional farmhouse. He shows it at the center of the economic, social, and farming life of the community, and the many buildings which have lost their lands and have since been modified for other uses. Profusely illustrated with the author's fine pen-and-ink drawings, this volume is an authoritative guide to one of the most characteristic and well-loved aspects of the English countryside.
