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

Thank you, Peter, for your kind Wishes. I send the same to you and yours.
Many thanks for such a splendid, interesting, and thought-provoking Blog.
Did I have the pleasure, recently, of seeing your Hollywood-sculpted cheekbones, and hearing your dulcet tones, on the Railway Television Programme "Great British Railway Journeys", hosted by Michael Portillo ?
And to You and Yours.
And all the best for 2016...
Hope you and yours are having a lovely Christmas and best wishes for 2016.
All the very best for a splendidly unmitigated 2016!
Cheers!
Thank you all, very much.
Zephyrinus: Haven't appeared with the Portillo yet, but you may have been disturbed by my presence on two Timeshift programmes: Between The Lines and The Joy of Sets.
Hollywood-sculpted cheekbones though? Surely some mistake.
Sorry, Peter.
Too much vino.
