About the Book

First published in 1962, this charming personal memoir details the eventful history of a much-loved English country house through the lives of the four great families who owned it. Written by the house's last squire, and pieced together largely from unpublished family papers, Felbrigg is the story of the Windhams, the Lukins, the Kettons and the Cremers, laid out against the backdrop of three hundred and fifty years of personal history and the major events of the times. Felbrigg stands a few miles inland from the Norfolk coast. Building was begun in the early seventeenth century by Thomas Windham, and the last alterations were made in the 1830s by Vice Admiral William Lukin. In the intervening years, much rebuilding and redecoration was understaken by owners who included William Windham III, Secretary at War in Pitt's coalition government in 1794. From 1854, when the house was inherited by William Frederick ('Mad') Windham, its fortunes declined, and many of the contents were sold in 1919 to Wyndham Cremer Cremer, who restored the estate to order. His son, the late R. Wyndham Ketton-Cremer bequeathed Felbrigg Hall and Estate, Norfolk, to the National Trust in 1969.

About the Author :
Wyndham Ketton-Cremer was sixty-three when he died; a modest man who never talked about himself, he would have felt an autobiography inappropriate and ratehr uninteresting. This book, Felbrigg, is the story of a house and the people who lived in it, and Wyndham and his immediate family are part of the pattern, no more and no less.
