| Book Description | Beyond the Gatehouse is a lighthearted, witty but factual biographical account of the eccentric lifestyles of the builders and residents of some of Englands best-known country houses. Extraordinary buildings require extraordinary people, and over the centuries our historic houses have produced more than their fair share of oddballs. Insulated from the outside world by vast wealth, rolling acres and the social status that a title implies, aristocrats have always been able to amuse themselves and now us by pursuing their idiosyncratic interests and manias to the point of eccentricity. David Long lifts the lid on all thats bizarre, implausible, unthinkable and delightfully wacky about our glorious heritage homes and their unusual occupants. |
| About the Author | Well-received by reviewers and readers alike, David Long's engaging, imaginative and well-informed books reflect an unquenchable thirst for those events and personalities that illuminate the past. An author and writer since leaving university, his work has appeared in the 'Sunday Times', in countless magazines and Londons 'Evening Standard'. |
