Architecturally unique and filled with evocative family memorabilia, from commissioned portraits to monogrammed heirloom dinner services to the bells that once summoned the downstairs staff, these houses, like Highclere Castle, better known as the fictional Downton Abbey, are all real homes and still in the hands of descendants of the original owners. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From Kentchurch Court, which has been the seat of the Scudamore family for nearly 1,000 years to a delightful Gothic house in rural Cornwall to a charming ducal palace to Goodwood House, England's greatest sporting estate, this beautifully illustrated book, in a smaller format, showcases a wealth of gardens, interiors, and fine art collections. James Peill, coauthor of Vendome Press's\u003ci\u003e The Irish Country House\u003c\/i\u003e and curator of Goodwood House, recounts the ups and downs of the deep-rooted clans who constructed these homes and illuminates the history and legends behind these marvelous estates, many of which have never before been published. James Fennell's evocative photographs bring the homes and their stunning grounds to life.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44556767789101,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_4ca2f3db-920f-49b2-ade3-3e29901ef5e1.jpg?v=1769316093","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/english-country-house-new-format","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
