EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, taken by Bedford Lemere in 1897, captures the elegant interior of the conservatory at Courtlands in Clapham Park, Worthing, West Sussex. The glass-enclosed space is filled with lush greenery, including palm trees and ferns, creating a tropical oasis within the estate. The intricate ironwork of the conservatory's framework is a testament to the craftsmanship of the time, with delicate details and ornate designs. Courtlands, a grand country house, was the residence of Sir G Mason at the turn of the 20th century. The conservatory was undoubtedly a cherished space for Sir Mason and his family, providing a tranquil retreat from the English weather. The sunlight filtering through the glass roof casts a warm glow over the room, highlighting the vibrant colors of the plants and the rich textures of the furnishings. During the Second World War, Courtlands played a significant role in military history. The estate was used as headquarters by the First Canadian Army, a testament to its grandeur and importance. The conservatory, with its sturdy construction and beautiful surroundings, may have provided a respite for the soldiers stationed there, offering a brief moment of calm amidst the chaos of war. Today, Courtlands stands as a reminder of a bygone era, a time of elegance and refinement. The conservatory, with its timeless beauty, continues to captivate and inspire, a testament to the enduring allure of nature and the craftsmanship of the past.
