When researching English country houses, Peter Reid found that no official records had been made of those that had been lost. He rediscovered vast numbers of forgotten houses by tracking down descendants of families who had once lived in them and copying photographs from their family albums. Reid's pioneering researches helped to lay the foundation of the exhibition "The Destruction of the Country House" arranged at the Victoria & Albert Museum in 1974, which effectively kick-started the "Heritage movement". Includes studies by John Harris, Marcus Binney, Peter Thornton, Roger Ellis, Nicholas Boulting, and others, as well as testimonies from seven owners of country houses sharing their experiences, and a list compiled by Peter Reid of more than one thousand country houses destroyed in England, Scotland and Wales, classified by counties.
