Dan Cruickshank is an architectural historian and BBC television presenter known to millions for The Secret History of Georgian London, Around the World in 80 Treasures and Dan Cruickshank’s Adventures in Architecture. In his new book, The Country House Revealed: A Secret History of the British Ancestral Home, Dan uncovers the history of six of Britain’s greatest private country houses, none of which are open to the public. As these intriguing narratives take shape, Dan shows how the story of each house is indissoluble from the social and economic history of Britain.
