The Quantock Hills, famous for their associations with Coleridge and Wordsworth in the 19th century, have been the canvas on which are sketched the shadowy images of people who lived on the land from prehistoric times to the present. There are Bronze Age cairns and burial mounds, Iron Age hillforts, Roman settlements, medieval manors and post-medieval estates, right through to stark monuments of the Second World War and the Cold War. This book presents and interprets the Quantocks landscape after a dedicated programme of archaeological fieldwork, air photograph transcription and architectural investigation by English Heritage. It describes the results in a readable book including full colour illustrations and line drawings throughout, plus a series of lively reconstruction paintings by the artist Jane Brayne.
Narrates the social characteristics of the public figures and their interesting houses in several villages in England especially in Southern regions such as Sussex, Penshurst, Wilton, Longleat, Wiltshire, Dorset, Devon, Hampshire, Avon Thames, Osterley, Ascot, Chilterns, and Cheviots.
