Two other books by Osbert Lancaster, guaranteed to bring joy to the reader, are his history of British Architecture ‘ Pillar to Post: English Architecture without Tears’ (1938, John Murray) and his history of interiors ‘Homes Sweet Homes’ ( 1939, John Murray) .

In reply to Nic Orchard. The Littlehampton Bequest includes several references to Maudie's ancestry. Her family and the Littlehamptons were connected over several centuries.

If I am allowed to comment on another comment, I would love to see the plans (if extant) for such an evidently superb tower. Nowadays, it could be deemed educational too. Maybe there is scope for a smaller-scale rendition…
