Perseus and Andromeda

Witley Court was once of the great country houses of England, reaching its peak in the Victorian period when it was the setting for extravagant parties and royal entertainments. After a devastating fire in 1937, however, it became one of the country’s most spectacular ruins. It is still possible to gain a sense of the opulence and scale of the 19th-century interiors, as well as to see the earlier layers of the building’s history laid bare by the fire.

The Perseus and Andromeda fountain was the centrepiece of the landscape gardener William Andrews Nesfield’s ambitious garden scheme at Witley Court in the 1850s.
