EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and beauty of High House, Campsea Ashe, as depicted in Giles Worsley's book "England's Lost Houses". The image showcases the stunning Jacobean architecture with its gabled roofs and intricately designed stepped gables. The house, originally built in 1585 by John Glover, underwent significant renovations when it was purchased by the Sheppard family around 1600. However, despite its rich history and architectural significance, High House met a tragic fate. In an attempt to avoid taxes, it was sold along with its estate in 1949 but was sadly demolished just four years later in 1953. Surrounded by landscaped gardens and a picturesque pond, this country house exudes elegance and charm. The driveway leading up to the entrance adds to the sense of grandeur that once graced this now-lost treasure. Captured by an English photographer from the 20th century whose name remains unknown (referred to as mzphoto), this print serves as a poignant reminder of what has been lost over time. Preserved through photography, we can still appreciate the magnificence of High House even though it no longer stands. This image is part of Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder and is copyrighted by Country Life magazine. It offers viewers a glimpse into England's architectural heritage while also serving as a testament to how fragile our historical treasures can be.
