Northamptonshire Parish Ruin Shell Unfinished Aldwinkle
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A 17th Century Unfinished Gem: Lyveden New Bield, Northamptonshire, England (1906) 2.. Nestled in the picturesque parish of Aldwinkle St Peter, in the heart of Northamptonshire, England, lies a captivating relic of the past - Lyveden New Bield. This enchanting, unfinished summer house, also known as New Build or Lyveden New Bield, dates back to the 17th century. The photograph, taken in 1906, captures the essence of this architectural gem as it stands today - a shell of its intended grandeur. The intricate stonework, still bearing the marks of skilled craftsmen, whispers tales of a bygone era. The ruins, framed by the lush greenery and vibrant flowers, exude an aura of tranquility and mystery. Lyveden New Bield was commissioned by Robert Sidney, 2nd Earl of Leicester, in the late 16th century, as a token of love for his beloved, Penelope Devereux. However, the construction was halted abruptly due to the Earl's involvement in the Essex Rebellion, which led to his imprisonment and eventual death. The summer house was left unfinished, a poignant reminder of a tragic love story. Despite its incomplete state, Lyveden New Bield continues to captivate visitors with its historical significance and architectural beauty. The ruins, now under the care of English Heritage, offer a glimpse into the rich history of Northamptonshire and serve as a testament to the enduring power of love and the passage of time.
