EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print captures the rich historical tapestry of Car Colston, Nottinghamshire. The image showcases the fascinating coexistence of a Minor Romano-British villa and its medieval counterparts, as evidenced by the intricate earthworks that surround them. The moat surrounding the villa stands as a testament to its defensive nature, while also adding an air of mystery and intrigue to this ancient site. The carefully preserved ridge and furrow patterns in the fields nearby speak volumes about the agricultural practices of yesteryears. Notably, six fishponds can be seen dotting the landscape, serving as a reminder of how vital these water bodies were for sustenance during medieval times. These ponds not only provided food but also served as recreational spaces for those living within this vibrant community. Dave MacLeod's expertly captured aerial perspective allows us to appreciate both the grandeur and intricacy of this historical site. It invites us to imagine what life must have been like for those who resided here centuries ago – their daily routines, social interactions, and cultural traditions that shaped their existence. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Historic England, we are reminded of our duty to preserve such invaluable remnants from our past. This visual documentation serves as a poignant reminder that history is not just confined within textbooks; it lives on through tangible relics like these – connecting us with our ancestors and enriching our understanding of human civilization.
