Before the early twentieth century, horses were an essential element of life on the enormous working estates of the English gentry. Stables built to house them became an opportunity to make an architectural statement, and Worsley traces the evolution of this building type in England from the twelfth century to World War I. This is a groundbreaking study of a long-ignored building type. 120 colorplates, 140 illustrations.
