Stoney Middleton, the Seat of the late Lord Denman, 1854. Creator: Unknown
Stoney Middleton, the Seat of the late Lord Denman, 1854. Country house in Derbyshire. This picturesque and truly rural retreat was the paternal home of the late Lord [Thomas] Denman...Here the Castle Rock rises to a vast height, and obtains its name from the singular and turret-like form which its craggy projections and points assume. Here are warm springs, from which the Romans are supposed to have established a bath: the temperature of the Middleton waters is two degrees higher than that of the warmest springs at Matlock...the glory of Middleton is its dale, at the opening of which the rocks gradually rise in all their nakedness on the right, towering above the houses; while, on the left, the rugged slopes are thickly wooded between the habitations'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

Stoney Middleton - The Seat of the Late Lord Denman, 1854
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting black and white print showcasing the picturesque and rural estate of Lord Denman in Derbyshire, England. The image, published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1854, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when nature's beauty and the grandeur of the English countryside reigned supreme. The print captures the castle-like rock formations of Stoney Middleton, which rise to great heights and are named for their turret-like projections. This area is renowned for its warm springs, believed to have been utilized by the Romans for bathing. The temperature of these springs is two degrees warmer than the warmest springs at Matlock. The true charm of Stoney Middleton lies in its dale, where the rocks gradually rise in their nakedness on the right, towering above the houses. On the left, the rugged slopes are thickly wooded between the habitations. The Castle Rock, with its craggy formations, stands proudly against the backdrop of the rural landscape. The print also highlights the warm and inviting houses nestled within the dale, surrounded by trees and greenery. The peaceful and idyllic setting of Stoney Middleton was the paternal home of the late Lord Thomas Denman, 1st Baron Denman. This print is a testament to the enduring allure of the English countryside and the beauty of a bygone era.
