In this compelling study, Victoria Perry explores the deep and often overlooked connections between transatlantic slavery and the British built environment. The book examines how wealth generated through slavery shaped country houses, estates and architectural developments across Britain. By tracing financial, social and material links, the author reveals how landscapes traditionally viewed as symbols of heritage and refinement are also tied to colonial exploitation. Combining architectural history with social and economic analysis, this work contributes to ongoing debates about memory, legacy and the visible traces of slavery in Britain today.
