EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Combermere Abbey in Shropshire, England, during the late 19th century. Originally a Cistercian monastery dating back to the 12th century, it was later bestowed upon Sir George Cotton after the Dissolution of the Monasteries. However, it was Sir Stapleton Cotton who transformed and expanded this architectural gem into its present grandeur in the early 1810s. The image is part of a series called "Picturesque Views of Seats of the Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland" edited by Reverend FO Morris. The wood-engraved plates were skillfully created by Benjamin Fawcett and Alexander Francis Lydon. Surrounded by lush greenery, including an enchanting garden adorned with ivy-clad walls, Combermere Abbey stands as a testament to both religious history and aristocratic opulence. Its exterior exudes elegance and charm while harmoniously blending with nature's beauty. As we gaze at this print, we are transported back in time to witness not only remarkable architecture but also a glimpse into English country life during that era. This visual masterpiece captures not just buildings but also people going about their daily lives within this religious sanctuary turned stately home. With its rich historical significance and picturesque setting, Combermere Abbey remains an enduring symbol of British heritage for generations to come.
