Country House

Though the purpose of this database is to catalog country houses, there are a number of buildings listed that are not country houses.  These buildings are usually included in the database because of their associated historical importance with the families who occupied country houses.

These "other" buildings are divided into the following five categories:  Townhouse, Villa, Folly or Outbuilding, Garden, or Other.  You can perform a search for only country houses by choosing "Yes" from the drop-down list and the results returned will be only country houses.  Conversely, if you want to search for buildings in the database other than country houses, choose "No" from the drop-down list, and you will retrieve only buildings in the search results that fall under the five categories described above.  If you leave the Country House? field in "Unknown", you will retrieve records that contain country houses and other buildings in the five categories.

Please remember that this database is a work-in-progress and that many, many houses have yet to have their Country House status entered.
