EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group portrait in the serene grounds of The Priory, Wherwell, Hampshire. Dating back to the mid-18th century until 1914, this historic estate was owned by the esteemed Iremonger family. Amongst those captured in this image are likely members of the family themselves, attempting to appear at ease beside the picturesque River Test. The scene is further enriched by the presence of another photographer positioned at the rear of the group, equipped with camera and tripod. This detail adds an intriguing layer to this snapshot from history, as it highlights both a shared passion for photography and a desire to capture cherished moments. Originally constructed near the site of a Benedictine abbey founded in the late 10th century, The Priory stands as a testament to centuries of English heritage. This albumen print from around the 1880s showcases not only its architectural beauty but also offers us a glimpse into Victorian life. Preserved within Historic England's archives, this photograph invites us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in an era long gone. It serves as a reminder that behind every grand estate lies stories waiting to be discovered and memories waiting to be unveiled.
