A fascinating new account of the history of the English house, from the country's preeminent architectural historian'Cruickshank’s enthusiasm for England’s vernacular architecture shines through every infectious sentence of this glorious book... A triumph.' - The Times'A mine of information presented in an effortlessly accessible style. Unlike many books that merely convey stories attached to buildings, this is social and architectural history delivered with forensic insight' - Country LifeThis is the story of the superbly elegant early eighteenth-century Pallant House in Chichester. It's the story of 19 Princelet Street in Spitalfields, built for a Huguenot silk-weaver, ultimately a synagogue. It’s also the story of – among others – a row of two-up, two-downs in Toxteth, a block of flats in London’s East End, and what Ideal Home’s magazine described in 1926 as Britain’s ‘first modern house’ – in Northampton.

Together these buildings reveal the ways in which English homes have developed and changed over the past few centuries. At the same time, as Dan Cruickshank shows, they have much to tell us about the lives of their first occupants: their aspirations, their struggles, their place within society and relationship with their local community. The English House brilliantly weaves these two strands together, blending architectural and social history to create a series of brilliantly observed portraits of fascinating buildings.

Praise for Dan Cruickshank'Genial, erudite and companionable . . . this heroic and heartfelt book caps a career devoted to [Spitalfields'] heritage.' ? Spectator'With beguiling erudition, TV historian and local resident Cruickshank tells the story of Spitalfields from Roman times to today . . . This is people’s history at its tastiest.' ? Sunday Express'A passionate, scholarly energy and involvement with every era of the district's long history come off Spitalfields' pages . . . Absorbing detail.' ? Times Literary Supplement'Cruickshank writes perceptively and honestly . . . As well as being a fascinating account of a unique area of London, Spitalfields is a timely warning that helps us to appreciate what the city and country risk losing.' ? Country Life'A delight to read . . . Teaches one how to use one's eyes more intelligently.' -- Jean Seaton, Chair of Judges, PEN Hessell-Tiltman History Prize

Perfect Facial Wipes
Style: Original, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
These are great for washing makeup off if, like me, you cannot use soap on your face. They are convenient to use; just pull from the package. They are moist and leave your skin clean and smelling fresh. These wipes do not irritate my skin or leave an oily residue. I have used them for year and always have a pack in my makeup area.

My Go-To Makeup Wipes
Style: Original, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2), Style: Original, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
These have been my go-to makeup wipes for years. Ever since I discovered them, I keep repurchasing them because they work so well. They do a great job of removing the bulk of my makeup before I wash my face, including eye makeup, without needing a lot of rubbing. I also really like that they don’t leave behind a greasy residue or make my skin feel dry afterward. The wipes feel gentle on the skin while still being effective, which is important for everyday use. I also appreciate that the cloth is plant-based and compostable, which feels like a better option compared to regular wipes. The twin pack is also convenient and a good value. Overall, a reliable staple in my skincare routine and one of the few makeup wipes I consistently come back to.

Amazing Pimple Patches - Actually Work!
Size: 36 Count (Pack of 1)
Effectiveness: These Mighty Patch Original hydrocolloid patches have been absolutely incredible for treating breakouts quickly and effectively without harsh chemicals or painful extraction. The patches work remarkably well overnight, drawing out impurities and reducing the size and inflammation of pimples by morning. I love how they protect blemishes from picking and touching, which prevents further irritation and scarring. The clear design makes them virtually invisible during wear, so I can use them during the day without feeling self-conscious. The patches stick securely without being painful to remove, and they genuinely speed up the healing process compared to leaving breakouts untreated. Quality: Hero Cosmetics has created an exceptional product with these hydrocolloid patches that clearly demonstrates superior manufacturing quality. The adhesive is perfectly balanced - strong enough to stay in place through sleep and daily activities but gentle enough to remove without skin irritation. The hydrocolloid material is high-grade and effectively draws out fluid and impurities without over-drying the surrounding skin. The patches maintain their integrity throughout wear and don't fall apart or lose effectiveness. The sterile packaging ensures product safety and hygiene, which is essential for treating open or inflamed skin. Value for Money: These pimple patches provide outstanding value when you consider how effectively they treat breakouts while preventing scarring and further damage from picking. The cost per patch is reasonable considering the dramatic results they deliver, often clearing blemishes faster than expensive acne treatments. The prevention of scarring alone makes these worth far more than their price, as treating acne scars is much more expensive and time-consuming than preventing them. The convenience and effectiveness make these far more cost-effective than multiple skincare products or dermatologist visits for individual breakouts. These patches have become essential in my skincare routine and consistently deliver impressive results. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with occasional or persistent breakouts who wants fast, effective treatment!

The best patches!
Size: 36 Count (Pack of 1)
These work amazingly well! I just stick one on before bed and by morning the pimple is noticeably flatter and less red. It really does what it says without any picking or irritation. They stay on all night even if I toss and turn, which I was surprised by, and they don’t feel uncomfortable at all while sleeping. I also like that they’re thin and kind of blend into the skin, so you don’t really notice them if you wear them during the day either. Super simple, effective, and way less stressful than dealing with breakouts the usual way. They fit well and the size is great, really absorbs all the yuck from a pimple. A great value for money!

Works Overnight—A Must‑Have for Surprise Breakouts
Size: 36 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried a lot of pimple patches over the years, and the Mighty Patch Original truly lives up to the hype. These patches are incredibly easy to use and work best overnight—just apply to clean, dry skin and let them do their thing. By morning, whiteheads are noticeably smaller (sometimes completely gone), redness is reduced, and the gunk is visibly absorbed into the patch. I love that they’re thin, clear, and stay put all night without irritation. They also prevent me from touching or picking at my skin, which is a huge bonus. The 36-count pack is a great value, and I always keep these on hand for surprise breakouts before an important day. Simple, effective, and gentle—this is one skincare product I consistently repurchase. Highly recommend!
