Silverton Park, Neoclassical mansion ruins in Silverton, Devon, England
The vast mansion featured 187 rooms supported by 150 underground cellars, with a classical colonnade surrounding the entire structure's exterior walls.
Architect James Thomas Knowles designed this grand residence in 1838 for George Francis Wyndham, incorporating an existing Elizabethan house called Combesatchfield.
Italian artisans created an extensive frieze on the mansion's exterior, depicting the biblical narrative of Israelites traveling from Egypt to Canaan.
While the main building was demolished in 1901, the remaining stable block now functions as holiday accommodation managed by the Landmark Trust.
The mansion cost a quarter million pounds to build in the 1840s but never reached completion due to the Earl's death and subsequent financial difficulties.
Architects: James Thomas Knowles Snr.
