EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty of Cothill Tump, a remarkable motte castle nestled in the picturesque countryside of Turnastone, Herefordshire. Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady in 2016, this print showcases the intricate details and historical significance of this ancient earthwork. Cothill Tump stands as a testament to centuries past, with its imposing presence and rich heritage. The carefully constructed motte rises majestically from the surrounding landscape, offering a glimpse into medieval times when castles played a vital role in defense and governance. Its strategic location atop an elevated mound provides commanding views over the surrounding area, allowing for effective surveillance and protection. The meticulous composition of this photograph highlights both the grandeur and subtleties of Cothill Tump's design. From above, one can appreciate the circular shape of its summit encircled by remnants of defensive walls that once guarded against potential invaders. The lush greenery that now blankets these ancient ruins adds a touch of serenity to their rugged charm. Damian Grady's expert eye has captured not just an image but also an essence—a reminder that history lives on through our architectural treasures. This print serves as a poignant reminder to cherish our cultural heritage while marveling at nature's ability to reclaim what was once man-made.
