Capturing the English genius for mixing practicality with beauty, ENGLISH COTTAGES is a rich visual anthology of the evolution of the cottage. Ranging from some of England s earliest dwellings, built without plans and with whatever was to hand, to purpose built railway or canal cottages, from model cottages built by wealthy philanthropists to the bucolic follies of the eighteenth-century rich.
