The architecture of England is essentially its own, it is capable of adaptation to every known requirement, and many more.
Leaving fortifications and cathedrals on one side as exceptional, there is often a great wealth of beauty in the most unpretending domestic buildings, that would lighten up a street or landscape, and if imitated would prove attractive to a tenant.
