1905 Print Sutton Place Exterior Portrait England Royal Architecture Joseph ARC4

This is an original 1905 color print featuring an image of an illustration by Joseph Nash of the Sutton Place, near Guildford, in Surrey, England. Erected in 1530, by Sir Richard Weston, this building is the second most important structure to embody the earliest evidence of Italiante renaissance design features in English architecture. The building is made of red brick from the time of Henry VIII, and is constructed in the U-shape form. It is said that the Sutton Place once housed St. Thomas More's blood tarnished ruff, as well as a crystal pomegranate that belonged to Catherine of Aragon. The great estate also appeared in the 1086 Domesday (or Doomsday) Book under the surname "Sudtone." Former owner was Jean Paul Getty. The current owner is listed as Alisher Usmanov. In 2009, renovations were put into order by the new owner.
