It's the story of 19 Princelet Street in Spitafields, built for a Huguenot silk-weaver, ultimately a synagogue. It's also the story of - among others - a row of two-up, two-downs in Toxteth, a block of flats in London's East End, and what \u003ci\u003eIdeal Home\u003c\/i\u003e's magazine described in 1926 as Britain's 'first modern house' - in Northampton. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTogether these buildings reveal the ways in which English homes have developed and changed over the past few centuries. At the same time, as Dan Cruickshank shows, they have much to tell us about the lives of their first occupants: their aspirations, their struggles, their place within society and relationship with their local community. \u003ci\u003eThe English House \u003c\/i\u003ebrilliantly weaves these two strands together, blending architectural and social history to create a series of brilliantly observed portraits of fascinating buildings.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDan Cruickshank is an architectural historian and television presenter.
