EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the transformation of Shardeloes, a historic country house in Amersham, Bucks, into a maternity home for evacuee mothers during World War II. The Orangery, an elegant 18th-century building dating back to 1790, serves as the backdrop for this poignant scene. In the foreground, Mrs. Clark, a dedicated nurse or volunteer, tends to a mother and her newborn baby. During the 1940s, as the war raged on, the country houses of Buckinghamshire and beyond were repurposed to provide essential services for the community. Shardeloes, with its grand architecture and spacious grounds, was an ideal location for accommodating expectant mothers who had been evacuated from their homes in urban areas. The conversion of the Orangery into a maternity ward allowed these women to receive medical care and support in a safe and comfortable environment. The photograph offers a glimpse into the wartime spirit of community and resilience, as people came together to provide for those in need. The Orangery, once a place for the cultivation of citrus fruits, now became a sanctuary for new life and hope amidst the chaos of war. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the adaptability and resourcefulness of the human spirit during times of crisis.
