Journalist Sykes presents a biography of the great country house, Sledmere, and his ancestors, who have inhabited the house for generations. Drawing upon family papers, he describes how the house was designed and built in the eighteenth century and recounts the exploits of colorful residents such as "Old Tat" Sykes (who sold the Gutenberg Bible to support his foxhounds) and renowned hostess Jessie Cavendish-Bentick (nicknamed "Lady Satin Tights"). The volume is illustrated with b&w photographs from the family collection. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

reviewed Big House on June 14, 2016 Big House
This was a wonderful read. part history part family drama. it's the story of Sledmere, Mr Sykes's ancestral home.This had everything. Adultrey, drunks, gamblers playboys and the odd vicar. both comic and tragic, it's a wonderful history of a house and it's inhabitants.
