Appuldurcombe House
Appuldurcombe House, English Baroque country house in Godshill, England.
Appuldurcombe House is an English Baroque country house in Godshill featuring symmetrical wings, a central pediment, and tall windows set into a pale stone facade. The estate also includes expansive grounds that preserve the formal garden and park layout from the 18th century.
Construction started in 1701 under architect John James as a residence for the Worsley family. The house was damaged during World War II and later restored, making it an example of architectural rescue.
The house displays typical English Baroque features in its design and room layout that visitors can observe today. This architectural language tells of the lifestyle of the wealthy family who lived here for generations.
The grounds are open year-round with guided tours available to explain the architecture and restoration work. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes as the gardens feature uneven terrain.
A German bomber dropped a landmine during World War II that destroyed parts of the house. Despite this severe damage, the building was carefully restored and today stands as evidence of resilience against destruction.
