English Homes & Gardens, Part 1 (3-vol. ES set)

Published by Edition Synapse, japan and distributed by Routledge outside of Japan. This is the first part of the reprint series of English Homes & Gardens by H. Avray Tipping and originally published in the 1920s in London. The series is intended to gather records of British residential architecture, with many photographs and plans. Covers around 250 castles, manor houses and country houses in ten volumes and introduces them with plans and more than 4,600 photos of not only the outside of architecture but also their interiors and gardens. Many buildings are now completely or partially lost and the collection will provide researchers, particularly those concerned with the history of architecture, with a vital resource. The series will reprint all ten volumes in three parts. This first part covers Medieval and Early Tudor architecture.
