Main facade of Carclew House from the lawns. Originally owned by the Bonython family, the house and estate were purchased by William Lemon in 1739 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 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 showcases the magnificent Carclew House in Mylor, Cornwall on a serene day in March 1912. The main facade of this grand residence is beautifully captured from the lush lawns surrounding it. Originally belonging to the esteemed Bonython family, Carclew House and its vast estate were acquired by William Lemon in 1739. To enhance and modernize the house, Lemon enlisted renowned architect Thomas Edwards, who skillfully incorporated elements inspired by Palladio's Villa Ragona. In the early 19th century, Sir William Lemon further expanded Carclew House with architect William Wood at the helm of its transformation. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when a devastating fire ravaged the property in 1934; however, a glimmer of hope remained as one wing was later restored during the late 1930s to provide shelter for refugees. Today, only remnants of this once-stunning architectural masterpiece remain as preserved ruins that stand as a testament to its former glory. This photograph serves as an invaluable historical record thanks to photographer Arthur William Jordan's keen eye for detail and composition. The image not only captures an important part of Cornish history but also highlights significant aspects such as great houses, estates, and Palladian architecture prevalent during that era. It offers viewers a glimpse into Cornwall's rich heritage while honoring prominent families like the Bonythons and Lemons who shaped their region's landscape through their opulent residences.
