Edwin Lutyens is widely regarded as one of Britain’s finest architects. His country houses are visited by hundreds of thousands every year. Gavin Stamp, one of our finest writers on architectural history, delves into the archives of Country Life to look at 22 houses from all stages of Lutyens’s career. They include Goddards, Middleton Park, Lindisfarne Castle, Castle Drogo and the Viceroy’s House in New Delhi. The archive material includes 200 stunning photographs. Lutyens had a close relationship with Country Life that extended to designing the magazine’s offices in Covent Garden.
