Whitbourne Hall, Greek Revival country house in Whitbourne, England
Description
Whitbourne Hall is a country house in Greek Revival style located in Whitbourne, England, featuring a marble atrium and blue stained glass ceiling. The main building has been converted into private residences while retaining its surrounding gardens with Victorian Italian gardens and historic greenhouses.
History
Edward Bickerton Evans, owner of a major vinegar production business, commissioned architect E.W. Elmslie to build this estate between 1860 and 1862. The house represented Victorian wealth and architectural ambition of its era.
Culture
The drawing room displays four tall sash windows with gilded plasterwork in the Adam style and a Venetian glass chandelier. These details reflect the refined taste of Victorian-era owners.
Practical
Access to the property may be restricted since it now contains private residences, so checking ahead about any tours or garden access is advisable. The grounds are spread across eight acres, so wear comfortable shoes if walking the estate.
Did you know?
The portico was inspired by the Erechtheion temple on the Acropolis and displays six ionic columns in classical style. This reflects the architectural knowledge applied to its design.
