The Surviving Cyclopean Gateway of Eastbury Park - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures the enduring beauty of the surviving cyclopean gateway at Eastbury Park, as depicted in Jeremy Musson's renowned publication, "The Country Houses of Sir John Vanbrugh". The image, taken by an anonymous English photographer from the 20th century, transports us back to a time when this monumental entrance stood proudly on the estate. Eastbury Park was commissioned by George Dodington in 1717 and brought to life by the visionary architect Sir John Vanbrugh. However, it was George Bubb Dodington, his nephew, who completed this magnificent country house. Sadly, despite its grandeur and significance in English baroque architecture, Eastbury Park met a tragic fate. Its demolition came about due to insurmountable running costs under the ownership of Earl Temple. Nevertheless, through this photograph we can still appreciate the vastness and splendor that once defined this stately home. The cyclopean gateway stands as a testament to its former glory—a symbol of an era long gone but not forgotten. Located in Tarrant Gunville and captured with meticulous detail by mzphoto for posterity's sake; every stone seems to whisper stories from centuries past. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even though some treasures may no longer exist physically, their spirit lives on through art and photography.
