The East Anglian Cottage - Trevor Yorke

Using photographs and illustrations, Trevor Yorke lists the key attributes which make the cottage an iconic building type. The cottage breathes history, witnessing centuries of social change and is made from materials that reflect the local landscape. There are distinctive 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.

East Anglia has a particular abundance of traditional cottages. Trevor Yorke’s book describes the importance of these homes within the region’s towns and villages and explains their history and architecture.

It contains a wealth of information, both for those who live in a cottage or who are simply admirers of their beauty.
