What is Stately Living : Then & Now : Taking the Visitor Behind the Scenes of Today's Historic Houses about?

Written in a lively style and illustrated with archive material and specially-shot photography, Stately Living will open the present-day visitors eyes to how the upstairs and downstairs life of an historic house has changed over the years, giving them a first-hand insight from owners and staff, then and now. Compared with their more detached forebears, many families have today to rely on a large measure of ingenuity and enterprise to ensure the conservation and survival of their historic homes. Drawing on archive material, personal anecdote from present owners and their staff and featuring inspiring photographs and line drawings, Stately Living describes how the same sense of determination and enterprise that created these magnificent houses is now directed to building a range of viable and sustainable businesses. Stately Living Then and Now is part of a completely new series published by VisitBritain Publishing in association with the Historic Houses Association.
