This is the first part of a reprint of ‘English Homes and Gardens’, a series edited by H. Avray Tipping and originally published in London in the 1920s.
- The series gathered records of British residential architecture, with many photographs and plans.
- It covered around 250 castles, manor houses and country houses in ten volumes and introduced them with plans and more than 4,600 photographs, illustrating not only exteriors, but also interiors and gardens.
- Many of the buildings covered are now completely or partially lost, and the collection will provide researchers, particularly those concerned with the history of architecture, with a vital resource.
- Edition Synapse will reproduce all ten volumes in three parts. This second part covers Late Tudor and Early Stuart architecture.
