EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the staircase at Dunsland House in Devon, as featured in Giles Worsley's renowned book "England's Lost Houses". The image, taken by an English photographer from the 20th century, showcases a stunning c19th wooden staircase with a beautifully carved wood balustrade. The history behind this architectural masterpiece is equally fascinating. The main block of Dunsland House was constructed around 1690 for the esteemed Bickford family. Behind it stood an old Tudor house, adding to its allure and charm. In 1843, William Bickford Coham commissioned the creation of this exquisite staircase that now stands frozen in time through this photograph. Tragically, Dunsland House met a devastating fate when it was engulfed by flames in 1967. However, thanks to its historical significance and beauty, it had been gifted to the National Trust just before its demise. This print serves as a poignant reminder of what once was—a testament to both the craftsmanship of c17th architecture and Giles Worsley's dedication to preserving England's lost houses through his work. Its inclusion in "England's Lost Houses" further solidifies its importance within British heritage. With every glance at this image, one can't help but feel transported back in time—immersing themselves in the elegance and grandeur that once graced Dunsland House before tragedy struck.
