What reading level is The Village Homes of England; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They are, too, admirably suited to their surroundings. One has only to travel over the mountains and moors of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Derbyshire, to see and feel how well the way of building was adapted to local conditions. The mountains are grand and solitary ; while below, the wild loveliness of romantic dales, watered by fast-flowing rivers and streams, is ever alluring. The stone crops out from the mountain sides in huge, craggy masses, and the buildings, of like material, form an integr...al part of the landscape. There is such agreement in the whole, such harmony, and the eminent merit of the northern villages lies in this fact. It is their appropriateness that gives them their claim to serious consideration as architecture, and the drawings of Knaresborough, in Yorkshire (page 113), and Stanton-in-the-Peak, in Derbyshire (page 115), demonstrate this point.
Oolite, lias, magnesian limestone, sandstone, and carboniferous limestone, are all found in the three counties. Much of the stone is ot a dull and sombre colour, enlivened here and there by patches of warmer hue, as is shown in the coloured drawing from Penistone, in Yorkshire (opposite).
