EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in the year 1875, captures the remnants of The Old Manor House, once a grand and historic building located in the heart of Marylebone Gardens in London. The Old Manor House had a rich and varied history that spanned several centuries. In the 16th century, it was converted into a hunting lodge by King Henry VIII, who was known for his passion for hunting and the outdoors. The manor house provided him with a convenient and luxurious retreat, allowing him to enjoy the surrounding woods and parks. Over the following centuries, the manor house underwent several transformations. It was later used as a boarding school, providing education to the children of the elite. However, by the late 18th century, the manor house had fallen into disrepair, and it was eventually demolished in 1791. This photograph, taken over a century later, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the ruins of a once-magnificent building. The ivy-covered walls and crumbling bricks tell a story of history and the passage of time. The photograph also captures the tranquility and beauty of the gardens that once belonged to the manor house, providing a serene and picturesque backdrop to the ruins. The Old Manor House in Marylebone Gardens stands as a reminder of London's rich history and the many stories that lie hidden within its streets and parks. This photograph offers a unique and intriguing glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the lives and experiences of those who once called this historic building their home.
