"The National Trust is one of the world's leading conservation organisations and now cares for over 350 historic properties, including over 200 houses. This book covers both great mansions, such as Petworth House and Kedleston Hall, and less grand, but equally interesting buildings, from romantic Godolphin House, rooted in the granite landscape of Cornwall, to the angular concrete and glass of 2 Willow Road, a piece of modernist architecture on the edge of London's Hampstead Heath."--The publisher.
