EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and beauty of the north wall staircase at Stoke Edith Park in Herefordshire. The image is taken from Giles Worsley's book 'England's Lost Houses', published in 2002, which explores the architectural treasures that have sadly disappeared over time. The staircase, dating back to the 17th century, was originally built for Paul Foley, Speaker of the House of Commons. It exudes an air of elegance and sophistication with its intricate baroque decoration and stunning wall paintings by Sir James Thornhill. These murals would have once adorned this magnificent stately home before it tragically succumbed to fire in 1927. Despite its destruction, this photograph allows us a glimpse into the past glory of Stoke Edith Park. The restoration architecture showcases meticulous attention to detail, highlighting the craftsmanship prevalent during this period. English Photographer beautifully captures every aspect of this historical masterpiece - from the ornate stairs leading up to a hidden world above to the mesmerizing wall painting that tells stories long forgotten. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time; we can almost hear whispers echoing through these walls as they stand as silent witnesses to centuries gone by. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of England's lost heritage and invites us to appreciate and preserve our architectural treasures for future generations.
