EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite interior of Stanbury House, located in Morwenstow, Cornwall. Taken in 1958 by renowned photographer Charles Woolf, it offers a mesmerizing view down the grand staircase within this historic Grade II listed farmhouse. Stanbury House holds a rich history as it was originally built in the late 16th century for John Manning. Over the centuries, several alterations were made to the building during the 17th, 18th, and even into the 20th century. The result is an architectural masterpiece that seamlessly blends Tudor influences with modern elements. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of this Cornish gem. The wooden staircase exudes elegance and charm with its intricate carvings and polished banisters. As one gazes down from above, they are transported back in time to an era of opulence and sophistication. The play of light filtering through stained glass windows casts colorful patterns on each step, adding a touch of whimsy to this otherwise stately scene. It is impossible not to be captivated by both the craftsmanship and attention to detail evident throughout every inch of Stanbury House. This print serves as a reminder of our rich architectural heritage and invites us to appreciate the beauty found within historical houses like Stanbury. It transports us into another world where we can imagine ourselves walking these very steps alongside past inhabitants such as Joyce Greenham or other notable figures who may have graced this remarkable space throughout its long-standing existence.
