Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stately Homes of England England in rich - immeasurably richer than any other county the sun - in its "Homes;" and these homes, whether of the sovereign or of the high nobility, of the country squire or the merchant-prince, of the artisan or the labourer, whether, in fact, they are palace or cottage, or of any intermediate grade, have a character possessed by none other. England, whose "Home! sweet home!" has become almost a national anthem - so closely is its sentiment entwined around the hearts of the people of every class - is, indeed, emphatically a Kingdom of Homes; and these, and their associations and surroundings, and the love which is felt for them, are its main source of true greatness. An Englishman feels, wherever he may be, that "Home is home, however lowly;" and that, despite the attractions of other countries and the glare and brilliancy of foreign courts and foreign phases of society, after all "There's no place like home" in his own old fatherland. Beautifully has the gifted poet, Mrs. Hemans, sung of English "Homes," and charmingly has she said - "The Stately Homes of England, How beautiful they stand Amidst their tall ancestral trees O'er all the pleasant land!"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old English Interiors Noteworthy examples, such as Haddon and Hardwick Halls, Sutton Place, Longleat, Hatfield and Burghley Houses, Ightham Moat and Warwick Castle have been carefully preserved and maintained - as we hope they will be for a long time to come - by their owners and their sucessors, but, for one reason or another, many others have been removed or destroyed. When I became interested in decorative art many years ago, I was impressed by the almost criminal ignorance which resulted in the ruthless sacrifice of work of this description. The housebreaker, for instance, was gifted with so little knowledge, that much valuable material and many models worthy of being placed in our national museums were thrown away or broken up, things beyond price, in the sense that once lost they can never be replaced. Time was when they were so lightly regarded as to be offered me for a few shillings. We have changed all that now, but the models I secured then have now proved to be of inestimable value.

Download or read book Old English Houses written by Allan Fea and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old English Houses: The Record of a Random Itinerary The last twenty years or so has shown a universal advance in taste, especially regarding the appreciation and preservation of old buildings in which our country fortunately is still so rich. Compare for example the restoration of a church in the 'seventies or 'eighties, with the careful and judicious restoration of to-day; or the adaptation of modern requirements to an old house thirty or forty years ago. But the word "restoration," however modified, does not harmonise with ancient buildings, and though the busy wheels of progress travel rapidly, there are still out-of-the-way nooks and corners in old England where, like the slower movements of a clock, things proceed as tardily as they did a century or more ago.

This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from More Famous Homes of Great Britain and Their Stories Of smaller size, Cotehele, at the other extremity of England, is equally perfect in its way. Shorn now, alas! Of the glory of its timber, all the victims of one gale, the surroundings of the house are rather prosaic in their bareness. But the chief interest of Cotehele lies in the fact that its interior and furniture have practically been untouched and unadded to since Charles l.'s time. The visitor can form some idea of what an interior was like at the beginning of the seventeenth century, though much of the work is of older date. The shutters and hangings in most of the bedrooms have been in their present position for four centuries the fireplaces have been untouched for the same period. The visitor privileged to stay at Cotehele will sleep in a room which wore its present aspect in the times of the Stuarts. Surely there are but few houses in the world where the hands of the clock of time have remained stationary for three centuries.
