EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Courtyard, Drayton House" from the renowned collection "100 Favourite Houses". The image, captured by an English photographer in the 20th century, transports viewers to a time of grandeur and architectural splendor. Looking westward, we are greeted by one of the magnificent colonnades that were added to Drayton House by William Talman in the early 18th century. This baroque masterpiece stands as a testament to the opulence and elegance of its era. The house itself dates back to around 1300 when it was built by Simon de Drayton, with parts of his original creation still standing proudly today. The history surrounding this majestic estate is equally fascinating. Henry, 2nd Earl of Peterborough embarked on a complete rebuild during the late 17th century. After his passing, his daughter Mary and her second husband Sir John Germain took charge and brought their vision for Drayton House to fruition. Currently owned by the esteemed Stopford Sackville family, this stately home exudes timeless charm. Every detail within this photograph tells a story - from the intricate coat of arms adorning its entrance front to the regal pediment crowning its doorway. It serves as a mesmerizing window into early 17th-century architecture and offers us a glimpse into an era defined by sophistication and refinement.
