The DiCamillo Companion - About
Description
Visiting a country house is an adventure for me. The experience is never the same twice. Each house continues to unfold and hypnotize long after I've returned from my visit. The magic of discovering these gems is unlike any other experience. (If you'd like to know what a country house is, click here; to view a slide show giving an overview of country houses and country house gardens, click here).
British and Irish country houses have been my chief passion since my adolescence. The DiCamillo Companion to British & Irish Country Houses came about as the result of an attempt to catalog, for my personal reference, the many country houses of Britain and Ireland. Originally I simply wanted to record whether each house were standing or demolished, but then other relevant details seemed increasingly necessary to add, and the list took on a life of its own. What began as an avocation became a serious quest , now in its seventh year , to develop a list of all the country houses ever built in Britain and Ireland.
The Database is updated daily and currently contains records more than 7,000 house s , with images for over 1,160 houses , and listings of over 320 houses where movie and TV filming has taken place. This undertaking will compile as many details as can be found about the houses, families who occupied them, and their estates, in a standardized format. The project will take many years to complete, but I believe that the Database is already a major resource, and the only comprehensive one online, for thumbnail information on these magnificent houses .
