EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the grandeur of Hewell Grange, located in Tutnall and Cobley, Worcestershire. The interior view captured by Bedford Lemere between June and August 1892 showcases the magnificent Great Hall as seen from the Billiard Room. The image transports us into a world of opulence and elegance, where every detail speaks volumes about the rich history that unfolded within these walls. The Great Hall stands tall with its towering ceilings adorned with intricate plasterwork and majestic chandeliers illuminating the space below. The room exudes an air of sophistication, inviting us to imagine gatherings filled with lively conversations, laughter, and perhaps even a game or two. However, it is worth noting that this stately building has undergone a transformation over recent years. Once serving as Hewell Grange, it now forms part of a young offenders institute – a stark contrast to its former purpose but equally significant in terms of preserving heritage. Bedford Lemere's expert lens captures not only the architectural beauty but also evokes curiosity about the stories hidden within these walls throughout different eras. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that buildings have many lives; they witness change while retaining their intrinsic value. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Historic England's collection, we are reminded of both past glory and present realities - an invitation to reflect on how our built environment continues to shape society across generations.
