EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the South Winfield manor house in all its former glory. Created by an unknown artist in 1844, this image offers a glimpse into the grandeur of Wingfield Manor near South Wingfield in Derbyshire. Dating back to 1441, this once majestic residence fell into ruin during the 18th century. The photograph captures the essence of this princely pile that was built during Henry VI's reign. Perched on a commanding eminence, it overlooks deep valleys and is surrounded by lushly-wooded hills. The tall grey towers and battlemented turrets, adorned with ivy, proudly rise above noble oaks and walnuts that embrace the mansion. However, time has taken its toll on this architectural masterpiece. Much of it lies dismantled or destroyed, but even in ruins, its beauty remains evident. This engraving from "Illustrated London News" transports us back to a bygone era when South Winfield manor house stood as a symbol of opulence and power. Today, although no longer intact, Wingfield Manor continues to attract tourists who are drawn to its historical significance and picturesque setting. This black-and-white print serves as both a reminder of what once was and an invitation for travelers to explore the remnants of this stately home nestled amidst Derbyshire's enchanting landscape.
