EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of The Great Hall at Nymans, Sussex. Taken from Giles Worsley's renowned book "England's Lost Houses" this print showcases the remarkable beauty of a bygone era. The Great Hall was originally constructed in the 1920s for Leonard Messel by architects Sir Walter Tapper and Norman Evill, who drew inspiration from the 14th-century Gothic style. Its medieval charm is evident in every detail, from the intricate tapestries adorning the walls to the stunning vaulted ceiling above. Tragically, this magnificent hall suffered a devastating fire in 1947 that left it gutted and destroyed. However, through this photograph, we are able to glimpse its former glory and appreciate its architectural significance. The image highlights elements of Gothic Revival and Victorian Gothic styles prevalent during that period. The neo-Gothic tracery on display adds an air of elegance and sophistication to this once opulent space. As we gaze upon this hauntingly beautiful scene captured by an anonymous English photographer from the 20th century, we cannot help but be transported back in time. It serves as a reminder of both the fragility of our architectural heritage and our ability to preserve its memory through photography. This print is a testament to C20th architecture and Tudor-style design while also showcasing Mzphoto's exceptional talent behind the lens. A truly mesmerizing piece that invites us into a lost world of splendor and craftsmanship
