THE
BIG HOUSE
The Story of a Country House
and its Family
Christopher Simon Sykes
To the memory of my grandfather, Mark Sykes, and
for the new generation, my children, Lily and Joby.
‘When I come back here, all the time I have been away seems like a dream. Everything is exactly the same here; the same conversation, the same jokes, the books in the same place on the same tables. My rooms just as I left them. One cannot believe that five months of incident and excitement have passed away. Home seems very calm and comfortable; a refuge quite inaccessible to any of the vexations and troubles of the world.’
Christopher Sykes, March, 1854.
