An English Farmhouse

Originally published in 1948, and edited by the artist John Piper,
"An English Farmhouse" is Geoffrey Grigson's careful survey of the old English farmhouse and its associated buildings,
whether made from sarsen, thatch, timber, tile or brick.

Grigson paints a vivid and human picture of rural life in the preceding centuries
and creates a delicate weave of social history.
