EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic House in the village of Long Marston, Gloucestershire. It holds a significant place in British history as it was here that King Charles II sought refuge after his escape following the defeat of his army at the Battle of Worcester in 1651. The image showcases the charm and character of this 17th-century building, with its ivy-covered walls and quaint countryside setting. The house stands as a testament to the turbulent times during the English Civil War, known as the Stuart period. Its architecture reflects both Germanic influences and traditional British design, making it a unique blend of styles. The chimneys rise proudly from its roofline, adding to its picturesque appeal. This postcard from the early 20th century provides us with a glimpse into history, reminding us of Britain's rich past. It serves as a reminder of King Charles II's desperate attempt to evade capture by hiding in this rural sanctuary. As we admire this image, we are transported back in time to an era filled with intrigue and political unrest. This photograph not only showcases architectural beauty but also tells a story that is deeply woven into British culture and heritage.
