Item Number: 147102 Title: Raynham Hall: An English Country House Revealed Author: Ridgdill, Michael Price: Not Available ISBN: 9781851498604 Description: Woodbridge: ACC Art Books, 2018. 30cm., hardcover, 224p., 140 color illus. Summary: On the eve of its 400th anniversary, Raynham Hall is experiencing a renaissance. The present Marquess and Marchioness Townshend are breathing new life into this ancient family house, which has been passed down through generation after generation, and are sharing its treasures with the public for the first time. As one of the earliest examples of neo-Palladian architecture in England, and with significant William Kent interiors, Ranham Hall is now the focal point of an entire book devoted to its evolution as a splendid country house and as the seat of one of England's most important families. This book serves as the first comprehensive survey of the house, its history, its evolution, and divulges the history of the Townshend family, whose impact on British politics has been felt since before the sixteen hundreds.
