The commanding bulk of King Henry VIII in his full regalia, and Queen Elizabeth 1 with her fiery red hair, are mighty royal figures who still hold our fascination over four hundred years later. Black and white timber framed building 'jettying' out between more recent bland structures, and rambling rows of quaint cottages around a green; these are as much the iconic image of England as that of the monarchs themselves. This book sets out to explain the rich range of houses built during the Tudor period. It is divided into five sections - housing; houses; style; interiors and gardens.
Trevor Yorke uses a wide range of diagrams, illustrations and photographs to enhance an authoritative and approachable text.
