Description

Canford Manor was built in 1825-1836 by Edward Blore for William Ponsonby, Lord de Mauley. Later extensions and alterations were made by Sir Charles Barry Jnr in 1848-1853, by David Brandon in 1873-1876, and by Romaine Walker and Tanner in 1888. In the twentieth century it was converted into a boarding school. The image is one of a set of Canford Manor taken for Lord Wimborne.
