 The DiCamillo Companion to British & Irish Country Houses
http://www.dicamillocompanion.com/
The DiCamillo Companion is ambitious in its scope, describing itself as "a database that will list every British and Irish country house, standing or demolished". Amazingly, the site delivers - updated daily, its Database of Houses claims to contain records for more than 7,000 houses, with images for over 1,160 houses, and listings of over 230 houses where movie and TV filming has taken place; moreover, it is all the work of just one person, architectural historian Curt DiCamillo. A powerful search tool allows users to find the information they require, with each record featuring details (where available) about the architects, current condition, access, ownership, history and other references. The DiCamillo Companion also offers many features in addition to its Database of Houses. Highlights include a useful pronunciation guide to house names; access to Burke's Peerage & Gentry search; and an excellent section of more than 300 links to country house and related websites. The site itself is well-organised, and the effective use of colours, images and quotes gives it a classy, country house-inspired feel. Conversely, while the sheer number of graphics and extensive use of Java can make it a little slow to navigate, it seems a price worth paying in order to access its splendid content. Be in do doubt, the DiCamillo Companion is an incredible achievement, and an essential site for anyone interested in heritage. Awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 12 Nov 2007].
