EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Clowance House, nestled in the picturesque village of Crowan, Cornwall. The image captures the grandeur of this historic residence before 10th February 1908, a time when it still bore witness to its tumultuous past. Clowance House had endured two devastating fires in its history; one in 1837 and another in 1843. However, these tragedies did not deter its owners from rebuilding and remodeling the house into an architectural masterpiece that stands tall even today. For centuries, Clowance House served as the beloved home of the esteemed St Aubyn family. From around 1380 until 1923, generations of this noble lineage resided within these walls, leaving behind a legacy deeply rooted in Cornish history. Interestingly, by the time this photograph was taken by Arthur William Jordan - a talented photographer capturing moments frozen in time - Clowance House was no longer their primary residence. The St Aubyn family had relocated to St Michaels Mount since 1669 but retained ownership of both properties. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to a bygone era when Clowance House stood proudly amidst lush greenery. It serves as a testament to resilience and rebirth after tragedy struck not once but twice. This print is more than just an archival record; it encapsulates the rich heritage embedded within every stone of Clowance House's magnificent facade.
