The Lodge, Carclew, Mylor, Cornwall. April 1928
View of the grade II listed lodge at the start of the entrance driveway leading to Carclew House, on the road between Perranarworthal and Mylor Bridge. Originally owned by the Bonython family, Carclew House and estate were purchased by William Lemon (1696-1760) in 1749 who employed the architect Thomas Edwards to enlarge and modernise the house in the style of Palladios Villa Ragona. The house was further extended by Sir William Lemon (1748-1824) in the early 19th century by architect William Wood. It was destroyed by fire in 1934 but one wing was restored in the late 1930s to house refugees. There are a few ruins preserved. Photographer: Arthur William Jordan

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of The Lodge, Carclew in April 1928. Located in Mylor, Cornwall, this grade II listed lodge stands proudly at the entrance driveway leading to Carclew House. Originally belonging to the esteemed Bonython family, the estate was later acquired by William Lemon in 1749. Lemon enlisted architect Thomas Edwards to expand and modernize the house, drawing inspiration from Palladios Villa Ragona. In the early 19th century, Sir William Lemon commissioned architect William Wood for further extensions to the house. However, tragedy struck when a devastating fire engulfed Carclew House in 1934. Despite this catastrophic event, one wing was restored during late 1930s with a noble purpose - providing shelter for refugees. Today, remnants of this once magnificent estate can still be seen through preserved ruins scattered across its grounds. The photograph itself is a testament to both architectural brilliance and historical significance. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captured not only the beauty of The Lodge but also its rich heritage as an iconic Cornish landmark. This image transports viewers back in time to witness a glimpse of upper-class country living amidst stunning natural surroundings. With its striking architecture and intriguing history, The Lodge at Carclew remains an enduring symbol of Cornwall's past glory and resilience despite adversity.
