More about the book
Britain has more historic houses, great and small, that are open to the public than anywhere else in the world. Stately homes, ruined castles and abbeys, merchants' mansions, peasant cottages - the stories of such buildings and their occupants, past and present, add up to an extraordinary record of our history.Author Simon Jenkins is a leading writer on this rich heritage. Here we present his vision of the 100 most impressive, interesting or unusual dwellings to be seen in Kent and Sussex - from ancient Knole to magical Bodiam Castle, from Brighton's exotic Pavilion to Elizabethan Parham - enhanced with photographs selected by the editors of Reader's Digest.
