Last night a crowd of historians, journalists and property people all gathered to celebrate the launch of my first book – House Histories: The Secrets Behind Your Front Door published by The History Press.
The book is a collection of stories of different houses from across the country. It features all sorts of different houses from fishermens cottages to Mayfair townhouses. Whether they’re big or small they all have a story. There are some homes which were formerly occupied by prime ministers and famous writers, as well as the understated ‘ordinary’ houses in villages and towns across the country.
The book is now available in all good bookstores as well as the many online book shops. For more details you can visit The History Press or The Book Depository or Amazon.co.uk
But, for a glimpse into the launch party last night here are a few photos
