About the book

Published in June of 2024, A British Country House Alphabet is the first volume in a series of books that will document famous historical events and cultural innovations that occurred at British country houses. This book, the first of three books, will focus on surprising snippets of history that occurred at, or because of, a country house in England, Scotland, or Wales. This book is bursting with fascinating content and beautiful illustrations organized by chapters that focus on the letters “A” through “H.”
