From State rooms to boot rooms we have interviewed and photographed these amazing homes. This book gives exclusive insight into a private world at a time of dynamic change and renewal. Publisher Description This book is a sumptuously produced journey around twelve privately owned country houses, asking what it is like to live in suchplaces today. What role do they play in the twenty-first century? For many years after the Second World War, the country housewas struggling. Now a new generation of young owners, often with children, has taken over. Theyre finding innovative ways to live in these ancient, fragile and poetic places. While they treasure the history and beauty of the houses, theyre also adapting and enhancing them for a modern era. Old Homes, New Life is a behind-the-scenes account of todays aristocracy, as they reinvent the country house way of life. Each family does this in its own way, maintaining the tradition of individualism, even eccentricity, which is so much associated with country houses. Dylan Thomass superb yet intimate photographs capture boththe inhabitants of these houses and the spaces they occupy - from State dining to family kitchen, walled garden to attic. This feast for the eyes is accompanied by an equally mouth-watering text by Clive Aslet, based on interviews with family members and his long experience of the subject through his years as Editor of Country Life. The result is an exclusive tour of a dozen spectacular homes.
