The book unfolds the story of Southgate House and it inhabitants from the mid-18th century until today. Located near Clowne, Derbyshire, it is a perfect example of a Georgian country house. For most of its history, it belonged to the well-known Butler-Bowdon family, serving as their main seat for about 150 years. Southgate House provides a microcosm of the social history of England over several centuries.

France in Ruins presents a spellbinding collection of evocative black-and-white pictures of ruined buildings in France: churches, town houses and castles. The magic of ruins is unmistakeable. They have the power to appall and transfix us. No two ruins are the same and this book shows but a small smaple of those that exist in France. Ruins exist to captivate us and this book reveals their history, the causes for their development and the relationship between the human condition and ruins. This book is illustrated with more than 200 photographic pictures of ruined buildings.
