EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Archbishops Palace in Croydon, Greater London, in 1912. Painted by the talented artist James Ogilvy, this artwork showcases the grandeur and historical significance of this remarkable structure. The Archbishops Palace served as the summer residence for the Archbishop of Canterbury for an impressive span of over 500 years. Dating back to the 15th century, these buildings have witnessed centuries of history unfold within their walls. However, by the late 18th century, they fell into a state of disrepair and dilapidation. Despite this unfortunate fate, they were given new life when transformed into what is now known as Old Palace School - an independent girls school under the Whitgift Foundation. The image offers a glimpse into a bygone era; its intricate details and architectural beauty are truly awe-inspiring. As you admire this piece, you can't help but be transported back in time to imagine how life must have been during those days. Originally featured in "A Pilgrimage In Surrey". Volume 2 by James S. Ogilvy and published by George Routledge & Sons Limited in London in 1914, this print serves as both a testament to our rich heritage and a reminder that even structures with storied pasts can find new purpose and continue to contribute to society long after their original use has faded away.
