Elizabeth Hodges 
Some Ancient English Homes and Their Associations [PDF ebook] 
Personal, Archaeological and Historic

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. IN these sketches of some ancient gloucestershire and warwickshire homes I have purposely omitted such as are already familiar, and introduced the reader to a few of the many old houses which, although lying within sound of the railway whistle, and possess ing no small amount of historic and personal interest, are still practically but little known.
