From Library Journal
A stylized identification that indicated one's rank and place in society, heraldry brings to mind battle shields and coats of arms, medieval knights and nobility. Its use is well illustrated in this selection of 50 homes in Britain's National Trust. These historical homes bring the lineage and history of their heraldry to life, with beautiful pictures of the application of these emblems and symbols. Woodcock and Robinson, coauthors of The Oxford Guide to Heraldry, first give the reader a quick introduction to the history, art, and design of heraldry. Moving alphabetically though these National Trust homes, the authors detail their history and genealogy, augmenting each with a line drawing of the family coat of arms and a photo of the heraldry used in the home. This is a delightful approach, focusing on heraldry's actual application and telling interesting tales of family history and the evolution of coats of arms with a conversational text. Charming and intimate, this is a delightful supplement to the study of heraldry. Recommended for academic or larger public libraries.DKaren Ellis, Nicholson Memorial Lib. Syst., Garland, TX
