Description
It is noteworthy that the smaller staircase in the Queen?s House, one of the earliest examples of an ?open? staircase with no central support, is similar to that in Pendell House, lending credence to the suggestion that Inigo Jones was involved. Until Inigo Jones, ?Tudor? was the dominant style for even the grandest of houses, as the classical architectural ideas following the Renaissance had not reached England. Although an imposing building its detailed history has never before been published. Extensive research has been carried out, resulting in accounts of the many families who have owned the house over the centuries, including Glyd/Glid; Amhurst, Pellatt, Jelfe, Biscoe, Perkins, Kenrick, Mott, Sturge,
Scott, Driscoll & Hesketh families. The author, whose family lived in Pendell House from 1997 to 2005, had unrivalled access and his interior photographs, including views of the impressive garden, together with those from an earlier period, are published for the first time."
