Abstract

Few indulgences are more welcome to the contemplative mind on a cold, inclement day than to lie amid the centrally‐heated, air‐conditioned, electronically serviced ambience of a contemporary habitat and thus to invoke the fondly imagined felicities of life in time‐distance merrie England. New and old, practical and romantic, utilitarian and aesthetic is a combination of irresistible appeal to the British character, and it accounts for the prosperity of those of our ancient inns which have added all mod cons to their heritage of open hearths, ancient beams, latticed windows, undulating floors and four‐posters in which Good Queen Bess once slept the sleep of an innocent virgin.
