EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of The Staircase at Ashburnham Place in Sussex, England. Taken by an English photographer in the early 1950s, this print is a timeless piece from Giles Worsley's book "England's Lost Houses" published in 2002. The staircase itself is a masterpiece of neoclassical architecture, designed by Neo-Palladian architect Stephen Wright and built between 1757-1761 by John Morris of Lewes for John Ashburnham. Its elegant balustrade and intricate railing add to its allure, while the columns stand tall as a testament to its grandeur. Sadly, much of this stately home was demolished in 1959, making this photograph even more precious as it captures a lost piece of history. The three-storey structure exudes sophistication and charm with its neo-classical interior decor. The photographer skillfully captured the essence of early 19th-century architecture through their lens. Every detail is meticulously preserved within this image - from the ornate balustrades to the destroyed remnants that hint at what once was. This print serves as a reminder of our rich architectural heritage and invites us to appreciate both the beauty and fragility of these magnificent structures. It stands as a testament to Giles Worsley's dedication to preserving England's lost houses through his photography.
