EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of The Parlour in Ockwells Manor, Berkshire. As one of the earliest surviving timber-framed manor houses in England, this architectural gem dates back to the 15th century when it was built by Sir John Norrys, a prominent figure as Master of the Wardrobe to Henry IV. The image captures the essence of medieval charm with its intricately carved stone chimneypiece and richly adorned walls. The red and gold Spanish leather covering adds a touch of opulence while the blue hues between the beams create a harmonious contrast. Every detail tells a story, evoking a sense of history that permeates through every corner. Notably, the chimney-piece itself is an artifact from Somerset dating back to 1601, adding another layer of historical significance to this remarkable space. It stands as a testament to centuries gone by and serves as a reminder of our enduring connection with our past. Through this photograph, we are transported into an era where craftsmanship reigned supreme and grandeur was celebrated within these hallowed halls. It is an invitation to appreciate not only the skillful artistry but also the timeless elegance that defines English manor house architecture. With its impeccable composition and attention to detail, this photograph captured by an anonymous English photographer in the 20th century encapsulates alluring beauty that continues to captivate viewers today.
