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

Happy Christmas to you to and all the best for the New Year.
Ps I would love to have your painting of the letter box printed up as Christmas Cards to send out.
What a fantastic picture, I love it.
Happy Christmas etc!
I'm afraid I'm a bit late to wish you a happy Christmas - only just got the computer running again after losing electricity at 9.30 on Christmas Eve. A strange, dark, cold Christmas (one of my neighbours wished me a Happy Wartime Christmas), but we were better off than some of our fellow Surrey-ites who were under water. I hope you were unaffected by it all.
At least I can wish you all the very best for the New Year!
Belated best wishes from A Bit about Britain - keep posting in 2014!
Thankyou for all your good wishes, much appreciated. Happy New Year to you all, more from Unmitigated England coming up shortly!
