East Anglia has a particular wealth of traditional cottages. Trevor Yorke describes the importance of these homes within the region's town and villages. He explains their history and their architecture using his own detailed illustrations.Trevor Yorke lists the key attributes which make the cottage an iconic building type. It breathes history, witnessing centuries of social change. It is made from materials that reflect the local landscape; there are particular features which bring the charms of a cottage immediately to mind; for example, tiny hinged windows and little dormers peaking out of the roof. Best of all is the cottage garden surrounding the property; its beds full of floral colour and with climbers clinging to its weathered walls.The East Anglian Cottage contains a wealth of information both for those who are lucky enough to live in one or who are simply admirers of their beauty.
