EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive showcases the Monks Stone, a fascinating piece of history nestled in North Tyneside. The image takes us back to its original location outside Monk House Farm, where it stood proudly as a testament to medieval times. Its significance is further highlighted by its eventual relocation to the cloister garth of Tynemouth Priory. The artwork, an exquisite watercolour painting dated 1847, beautifully captures the essence and intricate details of this ancient stone. The illustration transports us into a world long gone, evoking a sense of awe and curiosity about the lives and beliefs of those who once revered it. The Monks Stone itself is adorned with a cross symbolizing religious devotion and spirituality. It serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted faith that permeated every aspect of medieval society. This powerful visual representation invites contemplation on how religion shaped people's lives during that era. Preserved within Historic England's vast collection, this artwork by C G Harper offers viewers an opportunity to connect with our rich cultural heritage. It sparks imagination and encourages exploration into our past while reminding us that even seemingly insignificant objects can hold great historical value.
