Lost Country Houses of Nottinghamshire - Maxwell Craven

For centuries, England’s country houses have been where the rich and grand families have displayed their wealth and status. Today, England is still well endowed with these houses, although many of them are now popular visitor attractions instead of private homes. There are also many houses that have disappeared over the years. Some have been demolished as they could no longer be sustained due to the changes in social habits, surrounding development or because of the cost of repairs or death duties; others have been lost through fire, requisitioning, decay and rot. In Lost Country Houses of Nottinghamshire the once vibrant life of these houses and their significance in this part of the country is evoked once again.This fascinating picture of an important but often forgotten part of the history of Nottinghamshire over the centuries will be of interest to all those who live in the county or know it well.
