English Homes and Gardens

This is the third and final part of a 10-volume reprint series of ‘English Homes and Gardens’, edited by H. Avray Tipping and originally published in London in the 1920s. Included in these final volumes are 45 homes in Georgian style architecture, covered in in two volumes, and one additional volume which is thoroughly dedicated to the 52 leading gardens in England.

The 10 volume series gathers records of British residential architecture, with many photographs and plans. All-together, the series covered around 250 castles, manor houses and country houses, and introduced them with plans and more than 7,000 photographs, illustrating not only exteriors, but also interiors and gardens. Many of the buildings covered are now completely or partially lost, thus the collection will provide researchers, particularly those concerned with the history of architecture, with a vital resource.
