Sir Charles Lemon and his Beloved Niece, Louisa Ann Dyke - A Glimpse into Cornish Aristocracy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a cherished moment in the lives of Sir Charles Lemon and his beloved niece, Louisa Ann Dyke. Taken around 1860 at Carclew House in Mylor, Cornwall, this image offers a glimpse into the world of Cornish gentry and landowners during the Victorian era. Sir Charles Lemon, an esteemed figure in society as a mine owner, Member of Parliament for Penryn, and Sheriff of Cornwall, stands tall beside his niece. The photograph is mounted on cartridge paper with a handwritten label below that reads "Believe me yrs affecly L A Dyke" showcasing their close bond. Carclew House itself holds great historical significance. Originally owned by the Bonython family, it was acquired by William Lemon in 1749. Under the guidance of architect Thomas Edwards and later William Wood, Carclew House underwent expansions to transform it into a grand Palladian-style villa. Tragically destroyed by fire in 1934 but partially restored to house refugees during World War II, Carclew House now stands as ruins surrounded by echoes of its glorious past. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to the rich heritage and opulent lifestyle enjoyed by Sir Charles Lemon and his family. Preserved through time by unknown hands behind the camera lens, it allows us to step back into history and marvel at an era
