The John Cornforth Memorial Lectures return in 2025, presenting the stories of country houses and their estates through the eyes of private owners. This lecture series honours John Cornforth’s substantial contributions to architectural history and his lasting impact on the preservation of English country houses. The lectures will be held at Christie’s London and will also be streamed online. John Cornforth was one of the best-known architectural historians of his day and a leading authority on the English country house. Author of numerous books and more than 800 articles in Country Life, where for many years he was Architectural Editor, he shared his time and knowledge with country house owners and the National Trust as well as encouraging and mentoring young curators and architectural historians. This year, the proceeds of the lectures will be donated to Historic Houses (https://www.historichouses.org/).
Lady Chichester on Radbourne Hall, Derby | Wednesday 12 February 2025
Christie's London and Online
Radbourne Hall, is a Palladian House built between 1738-42. Designed initially by Francis Smith of Warwick it was completed by his son William. The estate has been in the ownership of the same family since the Twelfth Century although names have changed as the inheritance has gone through 4 females over the years. The present house has undergone two recent major restorations, one in the 1950s and one just recently. The house contains a fine collection of paintings by Joseph Wright of Derby some of which were commissioned specifically for the Saloon.
William Staempfli on Glen House, Peeblesshire, Scotland | Wednesday 12 March 2025
Christie's London and Online
Built 1855 by the remarkable Scottish Industrialist Sir Charles Tennant, Glen House is one of architect David Bryce’s most notable baronial residences. Set in a uniquely private valley in the Borders near Peebles, the mansion house is the focus of a larger grouping of 19thc buildings, which combine to form a charming model village. Most of the surrounding designed landscape was established earlier in the 18c when a previous smaller house stood on the same site. Still owned by the Tennant family, Glen House stands at the centre of a lively estate with over sixty residents, an organic sheep farm, and diverse flora and fauna. The house itself contains an interesting collection of pictures primarily by Scottish artists. Changes to the interior in the early 20c were designed by Robert Lorimer.
Edward Harley on Brampton Bryan Hall and Castle, Herefordshire | Tuesday 8 April 2025
Christie's London and Online
Brampton Bryan Castle and Estate passed to the Harley family in 1309 on the marriage of Margaret de Brampton to Robert Harley. The Brampton Family have held the Estate since the Domesday Book, meaning there has been an unbroken line of family ownership for over 900 years. During the Civil War the castle was defended by Lady Brilliana Harley. Brampton Bryan Hall was built in the 1660s beside the remains of the castle and was largely remodelled in 1740. The medieval deer park survives to the west of the village. The contents of the Hall reflect the history from the earliest days of the castle to the present day. This includes items relating to Lady Brilliana Harley, her grandson Robert Harley (1st Earl of Oxford and Mortimer, Queen Anne’s First Minister), Admiral Rodney and Lord Byron.
