Laurence Llewelyn Bowen's History of Home - English Country House Style

Logo for Laurence Llewelyn Bowen's History of Home - English Country House Style

Laurence Llewelyn Bowen explores the history of our homes from the 1920s to the present day. Through the work of Nancy Lancaster and John Fowler, Laurence plots the rise of the country house style in the context of the disquieting years of the 70s and 80s, when the past became a consolation and an escape from the present.
