Country Life

A costly winter • What impact will inflation and the cost-of-living crisis have on our historic houses and churches? Eleanor Doughty asks heritage associations and owners about their plans for this winter and beyond

Town & Country Notebook

Letters to the Editor

Bad behaviour backfires

Politics have no place in the Arts

The way we were

My favourite painting Habda Rashid

Get a grip. Wear more clothes • Professional complainants come to stay, but there’s hope for farming’s fightback against climate change

The Forsyte Saga

An enduring force for good • Drapers’ Hall, Throgmorton Street, London EC2 A restoration project revives the spectacular interior of one of London’s finest Livery Halls. John Goodall looks at the origins and history of the body that created it

The winds of winter • Joe Gibbs summons the fortitude of our forebears in a bid to survive the cold season in an old house with rattling windows, draughty chimneys and a leaky roof

All that glisters • Little conveys opulence more than gilt furniture, but restoring fading pieces is a challenge that requires exceptional skill, says Catriona Gray

Fringe benefits • Fat, often glistening metallic tassels, fringes, cords and braids–known as passementerie–have been beautifying interiors for centuries, reveals an admiring Matthew Dennison

Cut from the right cloth • In a brick building full of bolts of pretty plaids, a rainbow of linen gingham and baskets brimming with lemon bon-bon buttons, Jane Wheatley meets Carolyn Denham, the woman reigniting Britain’s passion for dressmaking

A spirit of the past • The best restoration services and suppliers of timeless furniture and fittings, selected by Amelia Thorpe

The secret of premature ageing • When restoring a house, both perfection and historical correctness can kill its character. Three experts tell Arabella Youens why antiques, materials and imperfection will keep it alive

Gown in one • Hetty Lintell chooses some luxurious dressing gowns in which to enrobe this season

A gentleman never tells

The great and the good • Two superb, historic and eminently desirable Cotswold properties come to the market this week

You’re on the list • These listed properties demonstrate every wonder of our grand architectural heritage and make fine family homes to boot

Pile on the frosting • Resist the urge to tidy the garden and, come the frosts, you will be rewarded with a glorious display of glittering seedheads, aversSteven Desmond

Sharp practice

Kitchen garden cook Cauliflower

A delicate balancing act • Forged using ancient skills and gravity, Finn Hull’s unusual stone sculptures are a precarious and captivating sight to behold, says Mary Miers of this young artist’s first installation

High stakes • Last month saw a rush of bidding and well-overestimate prices, including for an illuminated manuscript and a Sino-Tibetan gilt-bronze figure

Following in Ransome’s footsteps

Thank you for the music • There...
