Old Houses

Wykehurst Place, Gothic Revival mansion in Bolney, West Sussex, resembling more the châteaux of the Loire than an English manor house. Designed in 1871 by architect Edward Middleton Barry - designer of the Royal Opera House - for the banker of German extraction, Henry Huth, MP (1815|78), a bibliophile + collector of paintings. At the time of construction (1871|4) it cost £35,000. Its turrets, arches, conical roofs, + many architectural devices give it the appearance of a fairy-tale mansion.
