The first one is God is An Englishman.

Norah Lofts is another lesser-known writer of that genre. Her Town House trilogy actually covers a good thousand years. It's the story of a house and the people who live in it over that period of time.

Many of the other books she wrote, if taken as a larger whole, are in effect a village saga, with stories of various people and families who live in her fictitious part of southern England over many years.
