EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of Ashburnham Place from the south-west, showcasing its stunning Neo-Palladian architecture. Designed by Stephen Wright and constructed between 1757-1761 by John Morris of Lewes for John Ashburnham, this stately home exudes elegance and sophistication. The image reveals the house's red brick facade, which was added in 1855 during a refacing project. However, it is bittersweet to admire this magnificent structure as it no longer stands today. In 1959, most of Ashburnham Place was demolished, leaving only memories and photographs behind. Surrounded by picturesque grounds and a serene lake, the estate once boasted a park that radiated tranquility. The photograph hints at c19th alterations made to enhance its beauty further. English photographer Giles Worsley captured this timeless scene for his book "England's Lost Houses" published in 2002. His lens skillfully portrays the architectural details while also conveying a sense of loss for what has been destroyed. As we gaze upon this image from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the impermanence of even the grandest structures. Yet through photography like Worsley's work here, these lost houses can continue to inspire awe and appreciation for generations to come.
