A series called Home from Home [At Home with the British], presented by Dan Cruickshank and made in collaboration with [the] RIBA, will be aired on BBC 4 in the New Year and charts the architectural development and social history of three typical British house types \u2013 the cottage, the terraced house and the flat.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past eight weeks the director, presenter and researcher have made many visits to Stoneleigh finding out about the village\u2019s history and its past connection to the Abbey. Very many houses have been visited and as this goes to press filming will begin at the Food Beer and Craft Market, at the Club and at the Abbey itself. It already seems that everyone you bump into has chatted to them at some point! It will be interesting to see how the project progresses; watch this space!<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.stoneleighvillage.org.uk<\/p>\n<p>Stoneleigh is a Warwickshire village close to Kenilworth, Leamington Spa and Warwick and less than 4 miles from the centre of Coventry.There are 68 listed buildings in Stoneleigh.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 27th April<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"stcpDiv\"><strong><em>Dan Cruickshank: At Home with the British<\/em>\u00a0 <\/strong>(3 x 60\u2032)<\/div>\n<div>\u2013 Dan Cruickshank takes an up-close-and-personal look at the place we are all familiar with but rarely stop to question \u2013 our home.
