This is the story of the superbly elegant early eighteenth-century Pallant House in Chichester.
It is the story of 19 Princelet Street in Spitalfields, built for a Huguenot silk-weaver.
It is also the story of a row of two-up, two-downs in Toxteth, a block of flats in London’s East End, and what the magazine Ideal Homes described in 1926 as Britain’s ‘first modern house’ – in Northampton.
The English House is the story of homes and their occupants: their aspirations, their struggles and their place in a fast-changing world.
