This print captures a timeless view of Bignor House before any alterations took place, dating back to the 28th of August in 1946. The grandeur and elegance of this large estate are evident in its magnificent architecture, featuring an array of sash windows and countless chimney pots that adorn the roofline. This historical gem is part of the esteemed George Garland Collection, now housed at the West Sussex Record Office. Bignor House stands as a testament to the opulence and sophistication associated with traditional English mansions. Its sprawling grounds have witnessed centuries of history unfold within its walls. Once home to Charles Bigham, Viscount Mersey, this stately residence exudes an air of aristocratic charm.
