The original Tudor home period arose between 1485 and 1558 in England when Renaissance and Gothic designs merged to form a final Medieval style. As a result, Tudor is considered a transitional home style before the more formal Elizabethan Tudor architecture in the mid-1550s.
At the height of Tudor home design, craftsmen hand-built each of these sophisticated homes with the help of renowned architectural experts. As a result, the finest Tudor homes were individual masterpieces representing the pinnacle of the era’s superior design and style.
Today’s Tudor homes are large, manor-style structures with stately features inspiring reverence and evoking historical significance. Many of them are technically called Tudor revival homes, which are somewhat more ornate than original Tudor homes but retain the same unmistakable air of Gothic self-assurance.
