Aprašymas
Rudyard Kipling's poem Sussex celebrates the beauty of his deeply loved adopted county with its rolling green hills, spectacular chalk downs and its varied and playful coastline. Fortunately, Kipling's country house and many grander mansions are still with us yet, as elsewhere in the United Kingdom, the present-day counties of East and West Sussex have sadly seen the demise of some of these grand showcases of wealth and power. Lost Country Houses of Sussex will feature all of the large country houses that have been lost, as well as those that had to be extensively rebuilt following fires, and many of the smaller and more obscure houses, including seaside villas set in their own spacious grounds. Each house will be illustrated with rare postcards and photographs, including those featuring the families that lived in them and the famous people (such as Lord Lucan and George V) who visited them. This fascinating picture of an important but often forgotten part of the history of Sussex over the centuries will be of interest to all those who live in the county or know it well.
