The Great House is a children's historical novel by Cynthia Harnett.[1][2] It was first published in 1949 with illustrations by the author.
The novel is set in 1690 and concerns the building of a grand house in the new style, contrasted with the older manor house, which still reflects its medieval origins. The architectural differences are representative of the social changes of the period.
