The Rebirth of an English Country House

The Earl of Shaftesbury /Tim Knox /Justin Barton
St Giles House
An improbable mash-up of This Old House and Downton Abbey, the renovation of St. Giles house provides the reader with the real-life fantasy of going into dilapidated Georgian rooms and seeing them transform into exquisite spaces that honour the past while being suited to twenty-first-century living.
After being deserted for four decades, sixteenth-century English country house St. Giles House undergoes a thorough restoration from roof, structural walls, and interiors (including furnishings, decorative elements, and works of art) to landscape, lake, shell-lined grotto, and outbuildings. The history of the Ashley-Cooper family is described along with the evolution of the house and grounds, as well as the saga in bringing the grand house back to life.
