Opis

About 2000 country houses - all of them large and opulent and surrounded by extensive estates - remain more or less intact in England today. Whether in public or private hands, they have become a magnet for British and foreign visitors each year, and have been called "England's one important contribution to art history". However they are in danger of disappearing in an inhospitable economic and political climate. This book describes in detail the present state of these houses, those that continue to serve as family houses, as well as those that have been converted into National Trust museums, tourist attractions, convention centres, hotels, country clubs, schools, apartments, hospitals, and even prisons. From conversations with many of the owners, managers, and curators of these houses, it extrapolates the probable future of England's historic houses, evaluates the proposals that have been put forward for their survival, and considers the political, economic and archaic heritage of the aristocratic past.
