EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the haunting beauty of the interior of Appledurcombe House on the Isle of Wight. Taken from Giles Worsley's book "England's Lost Houses" this image showcases the grandeur and elegance that once filled this magnificent country house. Built in 1701 for Sir Robert Worsley by architect John James, Appledurcombe House stands as a testament to English baroque architecture. However, over time, it fell into disrepair and was eventually abandoned in 1909. Reduced to a mere shell in 1952, it was taken under guardianship by the Ministry of Works. The photograph reveals an empty space adorned with majestic Ionic columns that stand tall amidst the ruins. The atmosphere is one of desolation and solitude as nature slowly reclaims its territory within these walls. It serves as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and how even grand structures can succumb to neglect. Through this image, we are transported back to the eighteenth century when Appledurcombe House was alive with activity and opulence. Now left deserted and derelict, it exudes a melancholic charm that captivates viewers. Photographer Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured both the architectural details and emotional essence of this decaying masterpiece. This print serves as a visual record preserving not only Appledurcombe House but also our collective history for generations to come.
