Ravaged by fire in 1937,
once-sumptuous Witley Court is now a mere shell
but its remarkable fountain has been restored by
English Heritage and ‘fires’ on most days. The
town’s restored parish church of St Michael’s has
an opulent baroque interior replete with painted
glass windows, decorated carvings, monuments and
ceiling paintings by the Italian artist Antonio
Bellucci. The organ case is from an instrument
originally played by Handel. |
