About Me
- Peter Ashley
- I am a designer, writer and photographer who spends all his time looking at England, particularly buildings and the countryside. But I have a leaning towards the slightly odd and neglected, the unsung elements that make England such an interesting place to live in. I am the author and photographer of over 25 books, in particular Unmitigated England (Adelphi 2006), More from Unmitigated England (Adelphi 2007), Cross Country (Wiley 2011), The Cigarette Papers (Frances Lincoln 2012), Preposterous Erections (Frances Lincoln 2012) and English Allsorts (Adelphi 2015)
English Allsorts
"Open this book with reverence. It is a hymn to England". Clive Aslet
Preposterous Erections
"Enchanting...delightful". The Bookseller "Cheekily named" We Love This Book
The Cigarette Papers
"Unexpectedly pleasing and engrossing...beautifully illustrated". The Bookseller
Cross Country
"Until the happy advent of Peter Ashley's Cross Country it has, ironically, been foreigners who have been best at celebrating Englishness". Christina Hardyment / The Independent
More from Unmitigated England
"Give this book to someone you know- if not everyone you know." Simon Heffer, Country Life. "When it comes to spotting the small but telling details of Englishness, Peter Ashley has no equal." Michael Prodger, Sunday Telegraph
Unmitigated England
""....an absolutely stunning illustrated book..." A.N.Wilson / Daily Telegraph

I'll get this sing-song going if it's the last thing I do -
"Oh chick chick chick chick chicken,
lay a little egg for me,
chick chick chick chick chicken,
I'd like one for my tea,
etc, etc, etc
What variety is that fine bird on the cover, Mr.A?
I think you'll find that's a Canvey Island Black, Jon.
May all your hens be happy this Easter.
We are enriched by this Mr A.
Catalogues and manuals were beautifully done in those days...especially the agricultural ones.
Oooh...oooh....I'm first with the fault with this one: it's a cockerel!
Isn't it?
Oh Affer.
Mainly chocolate bunnies in Cal. More eggs please!
There's a rusty Ovum sign still hanging on a barn at Fairy Cross, near Bideford.
Revving the motorbike up now Ten Inch. Thanks.
I trust those cigarettes will not affect your throat, Mr.A!
...or are they 'Black Cat"?
Do you know, it took me ages to figure out what you meant Jon. And of course it's me failing to light up at the seaside, as seen in my new portrait. They are indeed Craven A.
