EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of Muntham Court, a lost treasure from England's architectural history. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print is featured in Giles Worsley's book "England's Lost Houses" published in 2002. Muntham Court was originally built in 1743 as a hunting lodge for Anthony Browne, Viscount Montague. Over the years, it underwent several expansions and remodels, including an enlargement by William Frankland in 1765. In the mid-19th century, Harriet Thynne, Dowager Marchioness of Bath acquired the property and commissioned Henry Woodyer to transform it into a Jacobean-style mansion. Unfortunately, this magnificent house met its demise when it was demolished in 1961. However, through this photograph, we can still appreciate its beauty and architectural splendor. The image showcases the stunning facade with its Dutch gables and neo-Jacobean features. The grounds surrounding Muntham Court were equally impressive with formal gardens adorned with topiary designs. This photo allows us to glimpse into a world of Georgian architecture and stately homes that have become part of England's rich heritage. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical moment through their fine art collection called Fine Art Finder. It serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting our architectural past for future generations to admire and learn from.
