EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic south side of the quadrangle at Hornby Castle, a lost gem from England's architectural history. The image is part of Giles Worsley's renowned book "England's Lost Houses" published in 2002, which beautifully documents the country's vanished architectural treasures. Built around 1500 by William, 1st Lord Conyers, Hornby Castle underwent significant alterations in the 1750s under the hands of James Athenian Stuart and John Carr. Its ownership passed to the Dukes of Leeds in 1778 until it was eventually sold by the 11th Duke in 1929 and tragically demolished just a year later. The photograph showcases an exquisite late fifteenth-century doorcase that was salvaged and now resides in Glasgow's Burrell Collection. The castle itself boasted stunning Tudor architecture with its castellated design and crenellated walls, evoking a sense of grandeur and history. Captured by an anonymous English photographer from the twentieth century, this print offers us a glimpse into what once stood proudly on this site. With its carved stone details and Georgian renovations visible on its exterior, it serves as a poignant reminder of England's rich architectural heritage. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece through their Fine Art Finder collection, allowing us to appreciate both the skillful photography capturing these lost houses' beauty and their commitment to preserving art for future generations.
