EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Aldercombe Barton, a Grade II listed 16th-century manor house nestled in the picturesque village of Kilkhampton, Cornwall. The focus of this image is on the magnificent exterior wall and gateway adorned with majestic pinnacles, showcasing the architectural splendor that has stood the test of time. The photographer, Charles Woolf, skillfully frames this view to highlight the intricate details and craftsmanship present in every element. The archway leading into Aldercombe Barton exudes an air of grandeur and history, inviting us to step back in time and imagine all who have passed through its sturdy stone structure over centuries. Notably, Historic England's listing information suggests that this remarkable gateway may have originated from Hartland Abbey - a fascinating connection that adds another layer to Aldercombe Barton's rich heritage.
