AN ENGLISHMAN'S HOME
"The vwhole point about our country houses is that they are our homes. They may be vast in size, palaces such as Blenheim or Chatsworth; huge romantic piles such as31 Hatfield, Penhurst, and Knole; comfortable, manageable eighteenth-cen-tury houses dating from the reign of Qpeen Anne, built for the small gentry of the d'ay ; little manor houses lost in the depths of the country; ycemen's amongst the fields with the farm buildings close at hand — whatever they may be they are first and foremost the home of fcheir owner, his wife, his children, and his dogs — never forget til^at practically every Englishman owns at least one dog.,>— -V. Sackvile-West speaking about the "English Country House."
