Metal Print : The chain gardens at Carclew House, Mylor, Cornwall. 15th March 1912
Metal Prints from Royal Cornwall Museum
The chain gardens at Carclew House, Mylor, Cornwall. 15th March 1912
Originally owned by the Bonython family, the house and estate were purchased by William Lemon (1696-1760) in 1749 who employed the architect Thomas Edwards to enlarge and modernise the house in the style of Palladios Villa Ragona. The house was further extended by Sir William Lemon (1748-1824) in the early 19th century by architect William Wood. It was destroyed by fire in 1934 but one wing was restored in the late 1930s to house refugees. There are a few ruins preserved. Extensive gardens and park surrounded the house and the gardens were mostly preserved after destruction of the house. They were famous for rhododendrons and a rhododendron arboretum was planted by Sir Charles Lemon (1784-1868) in 1850. This view shows a formal garden with beds resembling chain links.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the enchanting chain gardens at Carclew House, Mylor, Cornwall. This print captures the essence of a bygone era on the 15th of March, 1912. Originally belonging to the esteemed Bonython family, this magnificent estate was later acquired by William Lemon in 1749. With a vision to modernize and expand the house, Lemon enlisted architect Thomas Edwards to create a masterpiece inspired by Palladio's Villa Ragona. Throughout its rich history, Carclew House underwent further extensions under Sir William Lemon in the early 19th century. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when fire ravaged the grand residence in 1934; however, one wing was lovingly restored during World War II as shelter for refugees fleeing conflict. The photograph showcases an exquisite formal garden adorned with beds meticulously shaped like interlocking chains. The renowned rhododendrons that once flourished here were planted by Sir Charles Lemon himself in 1850 within a dedicated arboretum. While Carclew House may be lost to time and flames, fragments of its glory remain preserved as ruins amidst these extensive gardens and parklands. This image provides us with a glimpse into an era where great houses stood proudly against picturesque Cornish landscapes. Join us on this journey through history as we explore not only architectural marvels but also delve into the lives of important Cornish families who left an indelible mark on Truro's heritage.
