A fascinating new account of the history of the English house, from the country's preeminent architectural historian'Cruickshank’s enthusiasm for England’s vernacular architecture shines through every infectious sentence of this glorious book... A triumph.' - The Times'A mine of information presented in an effortlessly accessible style. Unlike many books that merely convey stories attached to buildings, this is social and architectural history delivered with forensic insight' - Country LifeThis is the story of the superbly elegant early eighteenth-century Pallant House in Chichester. It's the story of 19 Princelet Street in Spitalfields, built for a Huguenot silk-weaver, ultimately a synagogue. It’s also the story of – among others – a row of two-up, two-downs in Toxteth, a block of flats in London’s East End, and what Ideal Home’s magazine described in 1926 as Britain’s ‘first modern house’ – in Northampton.

Together these buildings reveal the ways in which English homes have developed and changed over the past few centuries. At the same time, as Dan Cruickshank shows, they have much to tell us about the lives of their first occupants: their aspirations, their struggles, their place within society and relationship with their local community. The English House brilliantly weaves these two strands together, blending architectural and social history to create a series of brilliantly observed portraits of fascinating buildings.

Praise for Dan Cruickshank'Genial, erudite and companionable . . . this heroic and heartfelt book caps a career devoted to [Spitalfields'] heritage.' ? Spectator'With beguiling erudition, TV historian and local resident Cruickshank tells the story of Spitalfields from Roman times to today . . . This is people’s history at its tastiest.' ? Sunday Express'A passionate, scholarly energy and involvement with every era of the district's long history come off Spitalfields' pages . . . Absorbing detail.' ? Times Literary Supplement'Cruickshank writes perceptively and honestly . . . As well as being a fascinating account of a unique area of London, Spitalfields is a timely warning that helps us to appreciate what the city and country risk losing.' ? Country Life'A delight to read . . . Teaches one how to use one's eyes more intelligently.' -- Jean Seaton, Chair of Judges, PEN Hessell-Tiltman History Prize

OEM quality and perfect fit with no leaks
Size: 1 Count
This is the real deal for anyone wanting to stick with OEM parts for their Chrysler or Dodge vehicle. The filter arrived sealed and well-packaged, and installation was quick with no surprises. This fits my 2016 Chrysler 300 sedan. It fits perfectly and performs just like the one from the dealership but without the inflated price. There were no leaks, and oil pressure stayed consistent post-change. If you're doing your own oil changes, it’s worth sticking with a filter that’s built specifically for your engine - this one does the job right. Pros: True OEM fit and function Well-sealed and clean install Performs reliably Tip: Pre-fill the filter with oil before installation to reduce dry start wear and improve circulation right away.

Mopar Quality

I regularly buy Mopar filters for my vehicles and have never had a problem with them. These are great filters at a good price and of course it is very convenient buying on Amazon.
