EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent south front of Forde Abbey, featured in the book "100 Favourite Houses". The image, taken by an English photographer from the 20th century, showcases the stunning Tudor architecture of this historic building. Originally a Cistercian monastery founded in the 12th century, Forde Abbey underwent significant transformations over time. The last Abbot, Thomas Chard, constructed the hall and porch during the 1520s. Later on, Sir Edmund Prideaux, who served as Attorney General under Oliver Cromwell, made substantial alterations between 1649 and 1659 that still exist today. The castellated grounds and crenellated facade add to its grandeur. The photograph beautifully captures not only the exterior of this country house but also highlights its well-maintained gardens. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this image. It provides viewers with a glimpse into history while showcasing the timeless beauty of Forde Abbey. Bridgeman Images has impeccably preserved this piece of art for us to appreciate and admire. This print serves as a testament to both architectural brilliance and natural splendor—a true masterpiece capturing centuries' worth of heritage within a single frame.
