Description:
|
Interior view of the staircase at Hewell Grange, Worcestershire. View of the grand wooden staircase with Jacobean strapwork detailing. At the top of the staircase Renaissance inspired arcading in alabaster and marble is visible. Intricate plasterwork adorns the ceilings and on the walls wood panelling and a wall hanging can be seen. The wall hangings in Hewell Grange were copied from tapestries in the Schönbrunn Palace. Hewell Grange is a country house in Tardebigge, Worcestershire, England. The mansion was built in 1884-91 by George Frederick Bodley & Thomas Garner for Robert George Windsor-Clive, first Earl of Plymouth. The Bedford Lemere daybook refers to the client as Lord Windsor. The surrounding park was developed by both Capability Brown and Humphry Repton and is on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. The lake is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The estate remained a seat of the Windsor-Clive family until it was sold to the state in the 20th century. The house was used as a Borstal from 1946 to 1991, when it became HM Prison Hewell Grange, a Category D open prison. Despite this, the house and its interior remain substantially intact. There are some very small flaws in the print itself, likely sustained in the printing process rather than a flaw to the original plate or negative.
