EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of Garendon Hall, a lost treasure from England's architectural history. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print is a testament to the beauty and elegance of Garendon Hall. The estate was once owned by the prestigious Earls of Rutland during Tudor times before being passed on to the Dukes of Buckingham in 1632. The original house underwent significant remodeling by Ambrose Phillips after his return from the Grand Tour in 1734, resulting in its stunning Georgian and Palladian architecture. Sadly, Garendon Hall fell into disrepair during World War II when it was requisitioned by the army. Following the war, despite its historical significance, it was not reoccupied by the de Lisle family due to its deteriorated state. Eventually, in 1964, this magnificent piece of history met its demise as it was demolished. However, through this evocative photograph taken prior to its destruction, we can still admire Garendon Hall's south front with its striking portico and pediment. The image showcases intricate details such as a mansard roof that adds depth and character to this architectural masterpiece. Preserved within these monochromatic tones lies a glimpse into England's past glory—a reminder of what once stood proudly amidst nature's embrace at Garendon Park. This print serves as both a tribute to Giles Worsley's work capturing lost houses and an homage to Bridgeman
