About this Event
The English House tells a history of England through eight buildings, including a block of flats in East London and Britain’s ‘first modern house’ in Northampton. These buildings reveal how English homes have developed over the past few centuries and the evolving relationship between client, architect and builder. They have much to tell us about their first occupants- their lives, struggles and aspirations.
