English furniture
English furniture has developed largely in line with styles in the rest of northern Europe, but has been interpreted in a distinctive fashion. There were significant regional differences in style, for example between the North Country and the West Country.
Salisbury and Norwich were prominent early centres of furniture production.[1]
