Willmott combines historical analysis with commentary on contemporary design, making the book both a record of the past and a guide for architects and designers of his own time. It reflects the strong influence of the Arts and Crafts movement, emphasizing tradition, quality, and livability at a moment just before modernism and World War I transformed English architecture forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003carticle data-turn=\"user\" data-scroll-anchor=\"false\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-7\" data-turn-id=\"866e6d87-05e4-44d7-958f-b0bd43cd49e1\" dir=\"auto\" class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-(--header-height)\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003carticle data-turn=\"assistant\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-8\" data-turn-id=\"97753211-169a-4cb5-bb88-2b111c15a200\" dir=\"auto\" class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-2-thinking\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-id=\"c1b93142-14cd-48ac-a937-2c30b6da3f44\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word dark markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Author | Ernest Willmott, F.R.I.B.A. [d]Title | English House Design: A Review [d]Publisher | B.

Light rubbing and mild edge wear are present throughout, with gentle fading to the spine, all consistent with a book of this age and well within what one expects from a working copy more than a century old. The gilt lettering on the spine and front board remains clear and attractive. Internally, the pages are clean overall. Moderate foxing and age toning are present, most noticeable on the endpapers and a few of the preliminary leaves, and lighter through the body of the text. The text block is solid with no loose or missing pages, and all plates are present and accounted for. The tissue-guarded frontispiece is intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51022522679574,"sku":"AMD-02646","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/2026Inventory-665.jpg?v=1770757226","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/english-house-design-1911","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
