EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a journey back in time to the enchanting Friars Court Barn, nestled in the picturesque village of Kempley, Gloucestershire. As we gaze upon this remarkable interior view, captured by the talented photographer Mike Hesketh-Roberts in April 2008, we are instantly transported to medieval times. The focus of this image lies upon the magnificent wooden beams and trusses that form the roof of this ancient barn. Each timber tells a story of craftsmanship and resilience, standing as a testament to centuries gone by. The intricate details and sturdy construction leave us in awe of the skill and ingenuity possessed by those who built it so long ago. As sunlight filters through small gaps between these weathered timbers, casting ethereal rays across the space below, one can almost hear echoes from history reverberating within its walls. It is as if time has stood still here; an oasis frozen amidst modernity. Historic England's dedication to preserving such architectural marvels allows us to appreciate their beauty today. This photograph serves as a reminder that our heritage should be cherished and protected for future generations. In capturing this momentous scene with his discerning eye, Mike Hesketh-Roberts invites us into a world where past meets present. Through his lens, he encapsulates not only an extraordinary structure but also evokes emotions that transcend time itself – wonderment at human achievement and reverence for our shared history.
