Book Description
Excerpt from Old Cottages Farm-Houses in Surrey Mr. Davie's experience in the other volumes of this series no doubt made my part lighter than it would otherwise have been. He found several of the buildings illustrated, and drew my atten tion to some of their details. Amongst others, my thanks are due to the Rev. Gerald S. Davies, of Godalming, and to Mr. Penfold, of Haslemere, for pointing out interesting examples. Mr. Penfold also kindly lent some of his photographic views, shown in the text, of cottages since disfigured by the hand of the restorer. Mr. George jack and mr.'a. B. Hayward have supplied me with valuable matter regarding Great Tangley and the Guest House at Ling field respectively. My brother, Mr. A. Romney Green, of Hasle mere, has helped me throughout with criticism and counsel. My notes make no claim to originality of thought or research; the authority for statements of facts are the recognized text-books upon English domestic architecture, and are, as far as I am aware, duly acknowledged in the footnotes.
