The Tudor period was dominated by King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I.
The houses still standing from that time are typified by black and white
timber framed buildings and rambling rows of quaint cottages around a
village green. This book explains the rich range of domestic houses
built during the era. There are five separate sections, which deal with
social change; structure and materials; styles and dating details;
interiors; and gardens and landscapes. There is also a quick reference
guide to identify the use of Tudor styles in more recent times. This is
an invaluable, well illustrated guide for anyone interested in the
history of Britain's domestic architecture.
