EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting view of Little Ridge, as seen from within the Garden House. The image is part of Giles Worsley's renowned book "England's Lost Houses" published in 2002. The English photographer beautifully portrays the early 20th-century architecture with its striking gables and mullioned windows. The history behind this picturesque scene adds to its allure. Little Ridge was originally built by Detmar Blow for Hugh Morrison, who acquired a ruined 17th-century manor house in 1905. Incorporating the remnants of the old structure, Blow created a new house that was later named Fonthill House after another estate with the same name was demolished in 1921. Sadly, this architectural gem met a similar fate when it was demolished in 1972. However, this poignant photograph allows us to appreciate its grandeur and elegance forever captured through Worsley's lens. The image showcases not only the exterior beauty but also highlights elements such as walled gardens and a loggia that were characteristic of the Arts and Crafts movement prevalent during that time. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable print from their collection, allowing art enthusiasts to delve into a world lost to time. It serves as a reminder of our rich architectural heritage while evoking feelings of nostalgia for England's lost country houses.
